Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Adult inpatient at medium or low secure unit at Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust 2. Mental health diagnosis requiring treatment from secure services 3. Capacity to consent taking part in the study 4. >18 years of age

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. inability to provide informed consent in line with ethical requirements 2. Previous Motiv8 participant from the pilot study as this will confound the outcomes of the study as the individual will have previously completed the programme, and this may affect the feasibility criteria of attendance/adherence 3. Insufficient command of English or communication difficulties which prevents engagement in written informed consent, validity of research assessments (eg English language standardised assessments), understanding of the programme and communication with the research and clinical teams without interpreters or additional support workers. This is due to the fact that the research assessments used are validated in English, for adult populations with an assumed standard literacy level.
