Web Descriptor
Understanding and responding to mental health needs is now recognised as crucial to health and well being. Mental health is an issue that affects us all and there is growing recognition that working with psychological and emotional issues extends well beyond specialist mental health services.
This module offers you the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in one of the most evidence based interventions for common mental health problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a key intervention for a range of common mental health problems and is recommended in NICE guidelines for multiple mental health challenges, including depression (NICE 2009), generalized anxiety disorder (NICE 2017), post-traumatic stress disorder (NICE 2018) and depression in children and young people (NICE 2017). In addition CBT approaches can form part of resilience building and relapse prevention as well as informing approaches to change management. Your learning will be facilitated by experienced BABCP accredited practitioners and you will have the opportunity to apply your developing knowledge and skills in completing a personal project
