Mental Health and Well-being at Magna House Hospital

Our model of care is based on person-centred principles, meaning that we place the individual at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with individuals and their families to understand their unique needs, preferences, and goals. This collaboration helps us create tailored treatment plans that are both effective and empowering. Our holistic approach ensures that we consider all aspects of a person’s well-being, including their physical, emotional, and social health.

Our care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of experts, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, and support staff. This diverse team works collaboratively to provide comprehensive care that addresses each individual's needs. By drawing on the expertise of different disciplines, we ensure that our approach to treatment is both well-rounded and specialised.

We believe in providing trauma-informed care, which means recognising and understanding the impact that trauma can have on mental health. Many individuals who seek our services have experienced trauma, and we strive to create a safe and supportive environment where they can begin their healing journey. Our staff are trained to be sensitive to the needs of individuals with a history of trauma, ensuring that care is delivered in a way that promotes trust, safety, and empowerment.

All our mental health services are based on evidence-based practices, ensuring that we provide the most effective treatments available. Whether through medication management, psychological therapies, or psychosocial interventions, we offer a range of treatment options that have been proven to improve outcomes for individuals with mental health conditions.

Some of the evidence-based therapies we offer include:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): A widely used therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours.

• Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT): Particularly useful for individuals with emotional regulation issues, DBT focuses on building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation.

• Psychodynamic Therapy: This therapy explores the influence of past experiences on current behaviour and emotional well-being.

Medication Management: For individuals who may benefit from medication as part of their treatment plan, our psychiatrists work closely with them to find the right balance and ensure effective symptom management.

We recognise that mental health issues do not only affect the individual—they can also have a significant impact on families and carers. As such, we offer support services for families, including family therapy and educational resources. We believe that involving families in the treatment process can enhance recovery and improve outcomes.

At Magna House, our goal is to help individuals achieve long-term recovery and develop the skills they need to manage their mental health independently. We provide education and support to help individuals understand their condition, recognise early warning signs, and implement strategies to prevent relapse. Through our recovery-focused programmes, we empower individuals to take control of their mental health and live fulfilling, meaningful lives.

The environment in which treatment takes place is crucial to recovery. We have created a safe, supportive, and therapeutic space where individuals can focus on their well-being. Our facilities include en-suite accommodation, communal areas for social interaction, therapy rooms, and outdoor spaces that promote relaxation and mental rejuvenation. We believe that a calm and comfortable environment plays an important role in the healing process.

We offer both inpatient and outpatient services, allowing individuals to receive the level of care that best meets their needs. Our inpatient services provide intensive support for those experiencing severe mental health crises, while our outpatient services offer flexible treatment options for individuals who may not require round-the-clock care.
