Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) – a webinar

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) are at the core of implementing Physical Activity for Health. Whilst these are usually associated with interventions with physical disorders they have an equally important role to play in the care of those with mental health issues.

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC)
Presented by Susan van Scoyoc
3:00 PM-4:00 PM GMT
Wednesday 9th December 2015

Research has revealed the increased probability of early death and chronic physical illness in those with an existing mental health condition. Evidence now demonstrates the negative impact of physical health care in one department and mental health care in another with little communication between the two. The future is an integrated health approach and this webinar will demonstrate why.

By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:

• Identify the physical health implications of mental illness
• Describe key psychological benefits associated with physical activities
• Describe theories about why exercise enhances mental health
• Describe use of exercise as treatment for depression
• Describe how to implement a treatment plan for those with mental health issues
