August: 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Arthritis and Pain

• 7.30pm (QLD), Tuesday 9 August

This workshop will take a deeper dive into what CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) is, how it works, and you will be provided with the opportunity to workshop how you may use CBT in the context of arthritis. This workshop is good for those people who live with arthritis and are wanting to learn how to manage their pain, depressed mood, and/or negative thoughts through challenging and changing the way they think. This is not a therapy session, however, is aimed at providing you with some CBT tools to help manage the mental wellbeing side of a chronic condition.
