Mood and Anxiety In-Patient Program

This Mood and Anxiety In-Program consists of 15 Modules delivered over 21 days. Each module is delivered over a 90min -120min group therapy program by experienced Psychologists and Psychiatrists.

The program is interactive and stimulating and is designed to challenge negative thinking. The modules are Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) based. The program is delivered in conjunction with a group of supplementary modules. Patients are provided with a workbook that contains information about each module and is an essential reference book after discharge.  Here are a few of the modules featured in the program.

  • ABC model – Identifying thoughts
  • Healthy thinking (Cognitive Challenging)
  • Exposure 1 – Rationale for exposure, conducting exposure
  • Coping Strategies (to replace Triggers, the difference is emphasis is on what can be done)
  • Change – Building motivation to change
  • Core Beliefs
  • Behavioural Strategies to combat Depression and Anxiety Snakes and Ladders  (dealing with relapse)

 

Supplementary Programs

Everyone is an individual and has individual needs. Sometimes material needs to be presented differently or a different modality of treatment is needed to break through difficult and persistent problems.

The Hills Clinic supplementary programs offer an alternative to the CBT approach and help patients see things from a different prospective. Some of the programs are more behavioural and can offer a welcomed break. While there are several programs on offer, you and your treating psychiatrist will develop an individualised program based on your needs.
