The Online Therapy Unit is accepting applications for the new “Things You Do” Lesson from Canadians 18 years or older.
Please note: The “Things You Do” lesson starts immediately following an application.
The “Things You Do” lesson is focused on cultivating everyday behaviours and actions which most people recognize as important for mental health. It is available to Canadians 18 years or older who are looking to manage their emotional wellbeing and are comfortable using the Internet.
Initial findings from the eCentre Clinic in Australia on the “Things You Do” lesson show meaningful benefits from participation. Clients who completed the lesson reported significant improvements in depression and anxiety from before to 4 weeks after the lesson, with changes maintained at 12 weeks after first enrolling in the lesson.
The “Things You Do” lesson consists of one lesson and a worksheet. You will receive automated messages for 4 weeks afterwards and are encouraged to practice behaviours daily for those 4 weeks. The materials are self-directed and can be accessed online and downloaded for future review. Clients are encouraged to review the lesson materials often.
No, the “Things You Do” lesson is self guided. All individuals in this lesson will complete brief questionnaires before they begin, and in week 3 and week 5 after starting the lesson. These questionnaires will help us evaluate the lesson but they will not be reviewed by a therapist or guide. These questionnaires do not take very long but provide us with important information about the “Things You Do” lesson.
This lesson is designed for Canadian residents who are at least 18 years of age.
Due to the lesson being developed in English and in a written format, it is not recommended for individuals who have difficulties using the Internet or difficulties reading or understanding the English language.
The “Things You Do” lesson can be taken simultaneously with other Online Therapy Unit programs.
If any of the above indicate that the lesson may not be suited to your needs, please refer to the resource page and speak with your family doctor about other service options.
If you have any questions about the lesson, please feel free to contact us.
