Celebrating World CBT Day on 7th April 2025
The focus of World CBT Day 2025 is “CBT is solid return on investment". The WCCBT plans for a variety of talks/presentations around the world that will outline the efficacy of CBT for various health/mental health problems. This will highlight that CBT not only effectively treats the acute phase of various mental disorders, but, in many cases, reduces the risk of relapse, also highlighting that scaling up evidence-based interventions is a solid return on investment.
Increasing access to high quality evidence-based psychological therapy is an important issue for health care systems and agencies that fund the delivery of health care, and most importantly, to the recipients of mental health treatments (both in New Zealand and internationally).

Te Pou Talking Therapies Toolkit
Te Pou are pleased to announce that they have launched the first four tools from their Let’s get talking toolkit. These tools are designed to support primary and secondary services to deliver effective talking therapies, and help determine which therapies are best for their communities, as well as the skills and knowledge needed for practitioners.
The toolkit supports planning and delivery of talking therapies using a stepped care approach. We invite you to take a look at Te Pou's Let’s get talking: Introduction video which they developed to help people understand more about stepped care in relation to talking therapies.
You can read more about Let’s get talking and access the tools at www.tepou.co.nz/letsgettalking.
