"Depression Management Group Feedback"

About: Highly Specialist Services / Short Term Educational Programme (STEP)

(as a staff member posting for a patient/service user),

What did you find helpful about the course?

Group work; caring practitioners; self direction to a degree; scope to talk and contribute.

Ways of dealing with issues; medication.

Different peoples perspectives.

I learned some useful tips

Some great ideas to take away. I really like the cards at the end to keep in my purse to remind me; Fact/Opinion I have used.

Facilitators excellent, really friendly and knowledgeable

Did you find anything about the course unhelpful and if so what?

Thoughts and behaviours was a little mixed and covered the same things. Sometimes people on the course area little too much and take up too much time.

A lot of personal stories, I wish it was more focussed or allowed more time for people share.

The emotion session was tough.

What suggestions do you have for improvements to the course?

Use the workbook every week. Get people involved by filling out their work books, It would have made me remember and take things in.

Firstly I would like to thank everyone that provided feedback after attending the course.

We use the feedback to learn about people's different experiences and this information is really important when we are reviewing the content of the courses we facilitate.

I am really glad to hear about the knowledge learnt and that how this was shared by the facilitators was a positive experience for most people.

I am aware that some areas can be tough such as the session on emotion, as can being in a group situation at times.

As the group participants will be aware this was the last time the course was facilitated at STEP as we have now passed the baton for the facilitation of this course on to our colleagues at ZEST.

They have spent a lot of time working with us so that they can continue to share the knowledge in future and also be open to receiving and responding to the important feedback from course participants.
