Electronic Personal Administration of Cognitive Therapy (ePACT)
ePACT is a self-led online skill-building and educational course designed to support people with spinal cord injury who are experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety, such as feelings of sadness, irritability, worry, and changes in sleep and appetite.
ePACT consists of 10 models that you complete independently at your own pace. It was developed using the principles of cognitive behaviour therapy, a therapeutic approach built on the idea that increasing our skills and/or learning new skills about how we think and what we do can impact how we feel.
