Abstract
The aim of this service evaluation was to assess the effectiveness of a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) group intervention for clients presenting with trauma-related difficulties within a part primary care, part ‘Improving Access to Psychological Therapies’ (IAPT) community service (Howells, 2004). Self-report measures were used to assess low mood, anxiety and trauma symptoms. This evaluation found that clients experienced a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and low mood; however, the difference in scores did not equate to a reliable change or improvement according to the IAPT reliable improvement index. Notwithstanding this, clients did report a change and improvement in trauma ‘symptoms’ by the end of this part of the intervention.
