Behavioural Solutions for Depression: A Primer
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability and is often a co-morbid condition with pain, sleep and other issues. Not everyone with depression needs therapy and or medication, and for many sufferers, Behavioral Activation (BA), which can be delivered by any healthcare professional, is the best evidence based approach.
This course is for psychologists, counsellors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, kinesiologists and any other healthcare pro who is eager to bolster their expertise in depression management using BA. Upon completion of this course, participants will emerge with a basic toolkit of practical strategies from BA that effectively address depression and guide clients towards a durable recovery.
This course serves a primer for a full intensive here.
