Abstract
Six chronic and persistently mentally ill clients of Stevens County Counseling Services (SCCS) were placed into a symptom management education group. The clients were diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. All had been hospitalized at one time, were taking psychotropic medications and had been clients at SCCS for at least five years. The clients met once a week for approximately one hour for a total of three months. The class was taught by a psychiatric nurse practitioner student. The University of California at Los Angeles, Social and Independent Living Skills modular program was used. A review of research literature provides the background for discussion of the benefits of symptom management. The long term goal of decreased in-patient hospitalization will be evaluated on a yearly basis by the administration of SCCS.
