Our Trust has been shortlisted in the ‘Diversity and Equality in Service Delivery’ category of the 2016 Positive Practice in Mental Health Awards for our work on a project that has been designed to enable local people with a learning disability to access mainstream NHS psychological therapies more easily.
The project, which is still ongoing, aims to increase the number of people with learning disabilities accessing - and completing - a course of the Trust’s mainstream psychological therapy services for mild to moderate mental health illnesses such as depression and anxiety. To do this, staff training around working with people with learning disabilities has been delivered and materials have been redesigned to better suit the needs of people with learning disabilities.
