The Science of Happiness.
What makes Australia Happy may not always make New Zealand happy, for example a win at netball or rugby (not that they're winning at rugby!) Nonetheless we still have enough in common with Australians to make a visit to this series of articles worthwhile. Some things associated with happiness will look familiar and others may surprise you. See more here.
The Centre for Clinical Interventions (AU) Resources and Workbooks.
If you suffer from anxiety or depression and are looking for specific information about different types of problems then their information packages, or InfoPax, may be relevant to you. The InfoPax consist of a number of modules that you can complete online, or you can save the modules to your computer and work through them onscreen in your own time. Alternatively, you can print out the modules and work through them by hand. For more, please click here.
Beating The Blues: What is Beating the Blues?

Beating the Blues has 8 sessions which each last about 50 minutes. Beating the Blues is based on CBT, an effective, clinically-proven treatment for depression. As you go through the programme you will learn lots of things that will help you. But CBT is not just about receiving information – it's very important that you try to put into practice what you learn in every session. So after each session there are things for you to do and think about as you go about your life. These are not difficult and the more of this 'homework' you do the better you will feel. CBT is not an instant cure but it is much more long-lasting than drugs and other alternative treatments–precisely because it teaches you workable skills for life. Click here for more information.
