Wellbeing Plus Course

The Wellbeing Plus Course is a free online and internet-delivered treatment program designed for adults 60 years and older. It aims to teach practical, proven, skills for managing symptoms of stress, anxiety, worry, low mood and depression. We developed the Wellbeing Plus Course because many older adults have difficulties with stress, anxiety, worry, low mood and depression. But, few people have access to or seek treatment.

The eCentreClinic partnered with beyondblue to develop the Wellbeing Plus Course. Importantly, this course is very similar to our other Courses but also targets issues relevant to older adults including changing roles, changes in health and maintaining independence. The Wellbeing Plus Course aims to help mature adults understand and manage symptoms of worry, stress, and low mood and to improve their overall wellbeing. The aim of the Course is to support adults to learn practical skills for managing these symptoms so that they can get back to leading an enjoyable and rewarding life.
