Day therapy at Nightingale Hospital consists of structured mental health treatments that provide therapeutic input during the day, allowing you to return to your home and normal responsibilities in the evening. These programmes are typically designed for people who need more intensive support than outpatient therapy but do not require 24-hour care, as in inpatient hospitalisation.
Day therapy can be beneficial for individuals dealing with a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, emotion dysregulation, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. The programmes generally involve a combination of different therapeutic styles, such as:
- Group therapy: Facilitated sessions where participants can share experiences and learn from one another in a supportive environment.
- Psychoeducation: Teaching individuals about their mental health condition, coping strategies, and skills for managing stress and emotions.
- Skills training: Programmes may include training in problem-solving, emotional regulation, communication, and coping skills.
