"MBTi at the Mandala Centre"

About: Community Forensic Services / Nottinghamshire MBT Service Forensic mental health / Low secure services

(as a service user),

I recently completed the 12 week MBTi group at the Mandala centre.

I found the sessions tackled some hard topics which I had personally ignored in the past.  I formed some healthy attachments and was able to think about having helpful therapy relationships.

I did find that some of the sessions were too simple and I felt I zoned out/like it wouldn’t help.  I think some of the sessions could be ordered differently and having no role play on session one may be helpful to change.

My experience of the facilitators has all been good.  I thought the smaller group break offs were well facilitated.

I’ve found the sessions/group helpful

Thank you for this feedback. I am pleased you found the 12 week group helpful and challenging, hopefully this has been good preparation for a move into therapy (if this is your plan). The small group exercises are often helpful as I know larger groups can be a little more challenging and people can often find it harder to find their voice, especially early on.

Your comments about the group sessions format and content is welcomed, thank you. These comments will be taken back to the team for further discussion as we are always keen to review what we do and why. Your feedback will help us in planning any future changes.

Best wishes, Louisa Hagan (Operational Team Leader)
