Details of Programme: The programme is over an eight week period with a strong emphasis on occupational work.
There are a number of phases to the programme. During assessment a psycho-education self-development programme is established. The actual therapeutic work is cognitive behavioural. At an agreed stage the work will then begin to look at effective measures that deal with issues that may hinder recovery. The final phase is to prepare the person for independence. The essence of all activities at Keltoi is therapeutic, advocating respect, life management, negotiating around interpersonal relationships, in the context of groups.
