Training In CBT & Other Evidence-Based Psychological Therapies
Introduction
Depression will affect over 1 billion of the world’s population at some point in their lifetime, and we need a range of approaches to treatment and prevention. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy was developed to support people with a history of depression learn skills to recover and stay well. In over twenty years an enormous amount of progress has been made in MBCT research, practice, and implementation. This webinar will overview this progress and show how MBCT alongside other approaches can move us towards a vision of the world without the devastating effects of depression.
The event will be equivalent to 1.1/2hrs of CPD.
