Low Mood

Our low mood collection supports therapists in delivering values-based Behavioural Activation with young people experiencing low mood and depression (Reynolds & Pass, 2021).

It includes psychoeducation to explain the principles of BA and build motivation, alongside values-focused activities to help young people identify what matters and reconnect with meaningful, rewarding experiences.
