MINDBODYSTRONG Training – A Cognitive Behavioral Skills Building Program for Healthcare Professionals and Health Sciences Students

Implementation of preventive/early intervention mental health programs is necessary to equip clinicians with cognitive-behavioral/coping skills before they experience a crisis. This presentation will prepare workshop participants to deliver the evidence-based MINDSTRONG program, also known as Creating Opportunities for Personal Empowerment (COPE) in the literature, a seven session manualized cognitive-behavioral skills building program that has been shown to decrease anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation as well as increase healthy lifestyle behaviors.
