WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
This webinar will introduce participants to Social Recovery Therapy (SRT; www.socialrecoverytherapy.co.uk), a CBT-informed intervention that aims to improve social and functional outcomes for people who have experienced psychosis. The ethos of SRT is to promote social recovery through increased time spent in structured activities that are meaningful to the individual. Social recovery is both personally valuable and important in its own right, as well as a facilitator of better mental health outcomes. SRT focuses on working with individuals and systems around them, e.g., family, friends, mental health/other professionals, and activity providers. This helps individuals to engage in meaningful activities within a system that supports and encourages them in doing so, which helps the engagement in activity to last.
ABOUT THE PRESENTERS
Dr Jo Hodgekins is a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Associate Professor at Norwich Medical School at the University of East Anglia. For the past 20 years, Jo has been involved in research with people with psychosis and young people who may be at risk of developing psychosis. Jo has a particular interest in using psychological interventions to improve social and functional outcomes for people with psychosis and those who may be at risk of long-term social disability following mental health difficulties. Jo is also interested in the way in which such outcomes may be measured and developed an adapted version of the UK Time Use Survey for this purpose.
