What is Your Well Being (YWB)
YWB
helps employers support their employees who may be suffering from stress,
anxiety or mild depression. The programmme provides confidential support and
guidance provided by our Well Being Advisor, and 8 sessions of the leading
Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CCBT). Independent research has
shown that CCBT works for many people with depression and anxiety by teaching
practical, lifelong skills to help them feel better and stay
better.
It
is a way of helping people to learn to cope with anxiety and depression and has
been recommended for use in the NHS by the National Institute for Health and
Clinical Excellence (NICE).
This
program was jointly designed and developed by Dr Judy Proudfoot and her team at
the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College, London. For details please click

Information
for employees
In
December 2004 NICE published guidance on the treatment of people with
depression. This guidance indicated that CBT was the most evidence based
approach to the treatment of Depression and that CCBT was a beneficial a way of
providing access to psychological therapies.
Our CCBT
is the only program recommended by NICE for mild and moderate depression. We
provide eight sessions which each last about 50 minutes. Beating the Blues is
based on CBT the most proven treatment for depression. As you go through the
program you will learn lots of things which will help you. But CBT is not just
about receiving information – it's very important that you try to put into
practice what you learn in every session.
So after
each session there are things for you to do and think about as you go about your
life. These are not difficult and the more of this ’homework’ you do the better
you will feel.
CBT is
not an instant cure but it is much more long lasting than drugs and other
alternative treatments – precisely because it teaches you workable skills for
life.
CCBT
works by helping you to understand depression and anxiety and then provides you
with ways to better manage your condition. The program is made up of eight
sessions, each session takes about 50 minutes to complete, this allows you to
access the programme at your convenience all you need is internet access. It is
completely confidential and can be completed at times to suit you.
