Suitable for:
New Dawn is a 9 bed specialist ward for women who have been diagnosed with personality disorder or with similar traits, aged 16 – 89, with some motivation and recognition of the need to help. Women with PD who also suffer with an eating disorder can be considered.
Offer:
Offering DBT based treatment, service users engage in approx 30 hours meaningful activity per week, relaxation therapy and ‘pampering’ sessions. Each woman is allocated to a team containing a consultant psychiatrist, ward doctor, DBT therapist and two nurses. They are also involved in making suggestions about activities at the weekly community meeting, attended by staff and service users.
The programme seeks to enable women to confront their problems instead of using ‘escape’ behaviours, such as overdosing, self laceration, burning and attempting to commit suicide. They are supported in identifying and overcoming negative behaviours.
