Bestill Projects

Lingdale School Parents' Groups funded my RCVDA

In our pilot project at Lingdale Primary School,  we introduced a 12-week Introduction to Mindfulness Course for parents of students. Throughout this course, participants learned what mindfulness is and how to incorporate practical techniques into their daily lives. Notably, the results were impressive, with a 57% reduction in GHQ-12 scores at the 6-week mark and a 62% reduction by the end of the 12 weeks. These findings highlight a significant improvement in psychological health, comparable to outcomes from primary care psychological therapy services.

This pilot project aimed to reach individuals with mild to moderate mental health issues who were not utilising mainstream health services. A total of 74 participants completed the six-week program, demonstrating a high level of engagement, with nearly all attendees returning after the session. The results indicated a significant improvement in psychological health after six weeks, comparable to the outcomes reported by primary care psychological therapy services.
