Evaluating the effectiveness of OT Groups in Mental Health Settings
Hello All,
An OT colleague and I ( both OTs working in CAMHS) are interested in Group facilitation and exploring/learning more about effective evaluation to support/evidence the amazing work OTs do particularly around groups.
Do you currently facilitate or co-facilitate OT groups? What are the main focuses of the OT groups you facilitate?
How effective do you believe OT groups are? What factors do you feel contribute to the effectiveness of OT groups? What are the main barriers to running effective OT groups in your clinical area?
Do you use formal outcome measures to evaluate OT groups, if so, what tools? How happy are you with the current outcome measurement tools available for OT groups? Do you use any informal outcome measures to evaluate OT groups, if so, what do you use ?
How do you typically record the effectiveness of OT groups? Any thoughts on what OTs can do to improve the evaluation of OT groups in mental health settings?
Have you ever done any research to evaluate the effectiveness of an OT Group you have facilitated ( published/unpublished)?
Thank you for patiently reading through my endless stream of questions!! Kind Regards, Una
Hello I am new to recovery team and hoping to do mindfulness groups, they do DBT here and therapies with CPI, when I did art therapy and mindfulness groups on placement in acute mental health these went down really well!
