Low intensity treatments employ brief, cognitive-behavioural therapy approaches that form part of the stepped care system recommended for depression and anxiety disorders. After meeting and assessing a patient, the therapist provides a therapeutic intervention to help patients with their problems and/or engage with other services that will facilitate them in their recovery. This programme is designed to provide you with the theoretical knowledge and skills to operate in an NHS setting as a Low Intensity Worker. You take four modules (60 credits): engagement and assessment of patients with common mental health problems; evidence-based low-intensity treatment for common mental health disorders; values, policy, culture and diversity; and working within an employment, social and health care context. A range of teaching and assessment methods is used including exams, skills-based exercises and practice-based assessment portfolios.
