Good book with great resources (worksheets and online). Easy to use and does really help some YP. I only say ‘some as it really depends on the individual and the severity of their depression but I have used this in practice and it’s easy to adapt ideas to include cognitions or be compatible with a humanistic approach

Complete with handouts and session/treatment plans, this book is an invaluable source of information to any clinician who delivers behavioural activation interventions to young people.
