Anxiety management group

February 14, 2018

This will be a psychoeducational group, facilitated by the Physical Health Psychology Team the Integrated Care Services Team based at Rowley Regis Hospital.

The group will be aimed at people who are having problems with anxiety. Anxiety must be the main presenting issue. They may be experiencing symptoms such as panic attacks, restlessness, racing thoughts, excessive worrying or disturbed sleep.

Before making a referral, please consider the client’s ability to engage in a group and whether they will be motivated to attend all sessions. It is also important that clients are willing to try out new strategies to manage their anxiety. We will not accept referrals for clients who have a longstanding history of anxiety and are known to mental health services.

If you need to discuss any issues relating to a client’s risk levels such as self-harm or suicidal ideation (non-urgent/ general discussion) please contact the psychology office on 0121 507 6376 and ask for a qualified member of staff. For urgent risk issues please contact patient’s GP.

The four week programme will run on Thursdays from 10am-12pm at Rowley Regis Hospital.

If you would like to discuss a referral or gain further information about the group, you can contact Psychology on 0121 507 6376 or Joe Ferris / Cheryl Coley 0121 507 2664 (option 5).
