Abstract

This paper describes the development of an emotional ‘check-in’ group, conducted on a male dementia ward at an older adult mental health hospital, in Salford (Greater Manchester). The authors planned and conducted four sessions initially, with an aim to evaluate and adjust sessions dependent on engagement levels and responses from service users (SUs). For context, SUs admitted to the ward were males with diagnosis of dementia, who presented with complex behaviours that challenge. The ward environment included a high level of acute distress and frequent incidents that involve risk. This article outlines the structure and content of the first three sessions, explores the potential impact of the sessions and reflects on the importance of providing individuals with severe levels of cognitive impairment an opportunity to discuss emotions.
