Psychological Wellbeing Resources

This webpage has been created by Clinical Psychologists at King’s Mill Hospital who specialise in supporting people living with physical health conditions. The Clinical Psychology department is comprised of Clinical Psychologists, Trainee Clinical Psychologists and Psychology Placement Students. Clinical Psychology support is available for patients under Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in the following departments based within King’s Mill Hospital:

• Cancer Services (please click here http://bit.ly/ClinicalPsychologyCancerService to visit the self-help website specifically for people living with cancer)
• Stroke for Early Supported Discharge and Stroke Ward
• Integrated Sexual Health Service
• Pain Management

It is not unusual to find it difficult to cope with a diagnosis of a physical health problem (whether long term or short term) and to find it hard to adjust to life afterwards. This website offers psychological resources for adult patients. This includes information leaflets, audio clips and videos which can be easily downloaded. You can find a range of psychological wellbeing resources on the tabs at the left-hand side of this page. This includes self-help resources to manage:

• Low mood
• Stress
• Body image
• Intimacy and sexual relationships
• Difficult thoughts

Whilst the resources have been designed for patients with a physical health condition, they can be used by anybody, including carers and family members. We hope you find them useful. Please speak to a member of your team should you require further information.
