Summary

At the Psychiatric Hospital, there are limited mental health professionals to offer the standard of care that is expected at a psychiatric institution. Psychotherapy is most affected. However, there are mental health professionals in training and long waiting times before clients are seen, which provides an opportunity for an intervention to be carried out. The purpose of the study therefore, is to determine whether a group psychological intervention can primarily reduce self-stigma among outpatients at the Psychiatric Hospital. The intervention's effects on self-efficacy and quality of life will also be assessed.
