Talking Changes is an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service designed for anyone over the age of 16 living in the County Durham and Darlington area. They work to deliver a range of therapies to people who experience common mental health problems such as stress, anxiety and depression, panic phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. As part of their response to the Corona Virus pandemic we would like to offer a bespoke referral pathway for social care and care home staff. Talking Changes now offers rapid access to a SilverCloud computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT) programme called ‘Space fromCOVID-19’.
