Online therapy programs - can they help improve mental health care delivery in primary care?
2:00 PM - 3:15 PMSummary
An introduction will be given of the strong evidence base and rationale behind the use of internet based psychological interventions for use within the primary care setting, particularly where access to face-to-face psychological therapies is difficult. Internet based psychological interventions are widely used in Australia and can be accessed online internationally. Case studies of the application of the Australian online applications “Smiling Mind” and “My Compass” for treatment of anxiety, depression and sleep disorders will be explored. Role play and small group discussion will be used to help general practitioners consider how this resource could be used within their clinical context.
The audience will learn what internet based psychological therapies are available to assist in the mental health care of their patients, and gain practical skills and resources to integrate these into their clinical practice.
