Social workers in mental health have a unique opportunity to empower clients to understand and manage their own mental health, fostering autonomy and resilience. Behavioural Activation (BA) provides an effective framework for this empowerment.

This will allow attendees to Explain current research that supports the use of BA, Outline the impact of inactivity on a person’s mood and consider the why, how and when to apply BA clinically.
Who should attend?
