Zoe Dillon and Laura Collins conducted research into the impact of collaborative co-facilitated groups, implementing the Decider Skills, with Experts by Experience (EBE) and mental health nurses. Read the poster for this research presentation below.
"Please see attached our poster presentation on gathered data from our Mental Health Day Service in Dublin Ireland. The Decider skills group is a core group in our timetable and, as shown, there is impressive early data to support the benefits for current service users, to hear feedback, from previous service users, on how they are continuing to use the skills post discharge from the day hospital. "
