| Annotation | This article describes a poetry group developed for older adults with functional mental health problems, in a day hospital in Birmingham. The group was facilitated by two Assistant Psychologists and had six group members. The group was closed and ran weekly for six sessions. Each week poetry was read by the group based on an emotional theme. The group was evaluated using both quantitative pre and post measures and qualitative feedback. All group members said they had enjoyed the sessions and the benefits ranged from therapeutic to respite. (AKM). |
