Dear colleagues, Today, April 7th is #WorldCBTDay! As the president of the @WCCBT (World Confederation of CBT), I am delighted to release our podcast interview with Dr. David M Clark Professor Emeritus from Oxford University to mark #WorldCBTDay today. Tune in to watch Dr. David M. Clark share his insights on the power of #CognitiveBehaviorTherapies #CBT in transforming mental health care worldwide. The Talking Therapies program in the UK is one of the most ambitious and successful mental health initiatives in the world, dramatically improving access to evidence-based psychological treatments. This extraordinary initiative has saved countless lives, reduced healthcare costs, and contributed to economic growth. But how did it come to be, and what lessons can it offer for global mental health care? Visit our website at wccbt.org to join me today as I sit down with Professor David M Clark, a leading architect of the Talking Therapies program, to discuss the origins and development of the Talking Therapies Program, the challenges and successes of scaling up psychological therapies, and its impact on consumers, professionals, healthcare systems, and the economy. David M Clark discusses the economic benefits of CBT for consumers and countries and provides a wealth of data to show that scaling up evidence-based interventions is a solid return on investment. Research shows that CBT is cost effective and builds wealth for the economy. For example, evidence shows that every $1 spent on CBT yields up to $4 in improved health and productivity. We invite you to like and share this post and watch the full podcast by visiting our website at WCCBT.org. Launched by the @WCCBT (World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies) in 2021 to coincide with World Health Day. The theme this year is "CBT is a Solid Return on Investment," a theme I have been posting about over the past few days. The @WCCBT (World Confederation of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies) is a global multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the prevention, assessment, and treatment of mental distress and suffering, and the promotion of health and well-being through the scientific development and implementation of the broad range of evidence-based hashtag#CBTs. @WCCBT members: Representing Asia: Asian CBT Assocation (ABCTA) Representing Australasia @AACBT_org_au Australian Assocation of CBT (AACBT) Representing North America @ABCTNOW Association of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies (ABCT) @CACBT Representing South America, Central America, Mexico, and the Caribbean x.com/Alamocco Aotearoa New Zealand Association for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (ANzCBT) Representing Europe @EABCT European Association of CBT (EABCT) International Association of CBT (IACBT) 🔍 Evidence-based. 🌍 Global impact. 📈 Smart economics. #CBT #MentalHealth #ReturnOnInvestment #GlobalHealth #CBTEffectiveness @CBC_Psychology @LataKMcGinn

Happy World CBT Day! @wccbtglobal @CACBT

Today is World CBT day @wccbtglobal @CACBT. CBT is a cost effective, empirically- supported psychological treatment, effective for a variety of mental health and medical conditions. Economic analyses demonstrate that CBT is a good return on investment.

I am writing a self-help book for #partners of individuals with #depression. If you know anyone who has a partner with depression and would be willing to meet by Zoom for a 30-45 min interview, please spread the word.

Congratulations to Mary Ritchie who masterfully defended her PhD @westernuSocSci @WesternU @westernuPsych. Woohoo!!
