The purpose of this module is to contribute to mood improvements of patients with long-term conditions, in this case, chronic pain. It entails all the aspects relevant for treating mood symptoms: psycho-education, behavioural activation, challenging negative thinking and relapse prevention. There is also attention for acceptance of long-term conditions.
In every session the user receives information, listens to and watches caregivers’ and peer leaders’ stories and fills in exercises. Different multimedia is being used: text, audio, video and illustrations. When the module is finished, the user has theoretical and practical knowledge on how to deal with his mood issues.
