First participants to attend Good Mood Group have completed the course with success!

Bromley Mental Health in Learning Disabilities Team has

launched a new group for adults with learning disabilities

living in Bromley. Six participants joined the first ‘Good Mood

Group’ for a six week course. They learned about mental

health, how to stay mentally well, and strategies to cope with

stress, what to do if they become mentally unwell, and

created staying healthy plans.

The group was set up and run by Mental Health in Learning

Disabilities Specialist Nurses Jill Davies and Lindsay Gordon.

They were joined Student Learning Disabilities Nurse

Cormac Smith from University of Greenwich.

Feedback from the group was positive and they suggested

the course should run for longer. They also said they enjoyed

meeting new people, learning new things and being able to

bring along their fidget spinners!

Everyone in the group received a certificate, and will meet

one more time in the summer to talk about how they got on

with their staying healthy plans.

Jill and Lindsay plan to start another Good Mood Group

running for 8 weeks, this autumn.
