  Project Update: As a result of the grant from WaMH in PC we were able to employ a part-time Band 5 graduate mental health worker to run stress management groups in community settings.  These effectively reduced psychological mobidity in clients (with marked reductions on the CORE), who reported high levels of satisfaction with the group.   Of the 12 clients completing the groups run (all of whom were referred from the primary mental health care service), all were discharged from the service requesting no further input.  The Director of Mental Health Performance and Planning in Powys has decided to continue to fund this one day a week following the ending of the project and we are looking forward to rolling out our further successful groups across Powys, enhancing our provision of stepped care, developing our multi-disciplinary psychological therapies service and providing excellent value for money.
