This module enables student students to move from assessment and care planning to delivery of evidence
based, wellbeing-focused low-intensity psychologically-informed interventions. Low-intensity psychological
treatments place a greater emphasis on patient self-management and are designed to be less burdensome to
people undertaking them than traditional psychological treatments.
Students will learn to set collaborative goals with people with severe mental health problems, and to deliver
seven interventions according to an intervention manual. These interventions are: 1 Behavioural Activation and
graded exposure; 2 Teaching problem-solving skills; 3 Sleep hygiene and intervention; 4 Recognising and
managing emotions; 5 Guided self-help for bulimia and binge-eating; 6 Improving self-esteem; 7 Medication
support. Each intervention meets specific service user needs and supports recovery through connectedness,
hope, identity, meaning and empowerment (CHIME).
Students will learn how to apply these interventions with appropriate flexibility within the context of a positive
collaborative working relationship, whilst maintaining fidelity to the interventions. Further supporting these
interventions, students will learn how to: deliver relapse prevention work, work with motivational difficulties,
manage endings safely and appropriately, use effectively use patient rated outcome measures, and work
appropriately effectively with families and carers.
Throughout the module, students will develop the ability to reflect on of their own current level of competence and deliver interventions with the boundaries of their competence and role.
