Behavioural Activation
Behavioural Activation has five steps. It is important to work through one step at a time, only move on to the next step of Behavioural Activation once you are comfortable with using the previous step. It is key to follow all five steps of Behavioural Activation in sequence. It can take some time for a coping technique to become effective and to show improvement. It is important to allow enough time for behavioural activation to be effective.

Challenging Unhelpful Thinking
In this video, we talk to you about a way to improve your mood by challenging unhelpful thinking. Challenging unhelpful thinking is an evidence-based approach to improving low mood or anxiety. It works by identifying negative or unhelpful thoughts and gathering evidence as to the accuracy of the thought. This evidence then helps us to develop a more realistic and helpful thought.
