Topic Tuesday // Mindfulness and CBT for carers // 21 March, 7 - 9pm AEDT

CBT and Mindfulness for Carers

It's Brain Awareness Week 13 - 19th of March, so during this Topic Tuesday we are going to take a look at how you can sooth your mind using CBT and mindfulness. We'll address what's the difference between these therapies, how can they be uesful for carers, and what services are out there that can offer these services for carers. We'll be joined by @snowlee127 from Northside Community, where they are currently running an online CBT program, 'This Way Up,' as part of a pilot study within their organisation.

Join the discussion on March 21st, 7 - 9pm.

@soul you are channelling me again! you have no idea how manytimes I have said "I never would have thought my life would turn out like this" nobody I knew back then has any idea how it did, they still can't quite believe it either. and yes.. if only we could turn back time... I see it all so clearly now.. but I had to live it to learn it, unfortunately.

@Socks There are a few ways that you can access CBT support.

1)Clinical face to face support: you can find your local psychology clinic

2) You can also access online CBT support via https://thiswayup.org.au/

3) There are also group courses that you can attend. In Sydney, University of Sydney provides a 8 weeks course called Change Your Thinking. You can check it out here: https://cce.sydney.edu.au/course/CYTH

4) A really good book on CBT by the facilitator and psychologist-Sarah Edelman called [Change your thinking] also provides a very comprehensive background on CBT. You can access it here: http://www.booktopia.com.au/change-your-thinking-sarah-edelman/prod9780733332241.html?source=pla&gclid=Cj0KEQjwnsPGBRDo4c6RqK-Oqu8BEiQAwNviCVxfqmQMErJXvK8zy4pbi9ZNKV8t2L1uQ3LOKggfescaAq7F8P8HAQ
