MENTAL HEALTH SERIES Episode 3: In this episode
Prof Grant Schofield talks to PREKURE’s resident Psychologist
Sophia Dawson. Sophia outlines the roles of different mental
health professionals and what 'going to a psychologist' might
look like. Catch their discussion as they delve into:

Mental health presentations from the common (anxiety and
depression) to the not so common (schizophrenia, psychosis, and
personality disorder)

Different types of theories and therapies - like CBT
(cognitive behaviour therapy) and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy)

ACT – What is it and how does it work? And how you can use
these powerful tools to develop psychological flexibility, for
your own benefit, and also to help others

"In ACT we don't describe thoughts and feelings to be positive or
negative. It's either helpful or unhelpful, workable or
unworkable. The idea that suffering being inherent in the human
experience certainly isn't new and ACT really just normalises
that as a part of being human." - Sophia Dawson
