[Short-term interventions offered by les centres locaux de services communautaires (CLSC) to people living with anxiety or depressive disorders: Results of the longitudinal component of the Shared Knowledge study].

Context In Quebec, adult mental health (AMH) first-line teams are mandated to provide psychosocial services to people living with mental health difficulties, including anxiety and mood disorders. Following the establishment of new clinical guidelines in 2017, the duration of interventions was not to exceed 15 sessions, with some exceptions. Objectives The overall aim of the longitudinal component of the Shared Knowledge study was to evaluate the care experience of individuals with an anxiety or depressive disorder receiving a short-term intervention (<15 sessions) by first-line AMH teams, and the evolution of recovery over time.

A pragmatic randomized controlled trial of a group self-management support program versus treatment-as-usual for anxiety disorders: study protocol.

Background: The integration of a personal recovery-oriented practice in mental health services is an emerging principle in policy planning. Self-management support (SMS) is an intervention promoting recovery that aims at educating patients on the nature of their mental disorder, improving their strategies to manage their day-to-day symptoms, fostering self-efficacy and empowerment, preventing relapse, and promoting well-being. While SMS is well established for chronic physical conditions, there is a lack of evidence to support the implementation of structured SMS programs for common mental disorders, and particularly for anxiety disorders.

Getting better my way: Feasibility study of a self-management support tool for people with mood and anxiety disorders.

Objective: Self-management support is recognized as an important component of the management of mood and anxiety disorders. The goal of this feasibility study was to evaluate the acceptability, implementation and perceived usefulness of a new comprehensive self-management tool () in four care settings in Quebec, Canada.

Method: Care providers offered the tool to people with difficulties related to mood or anxiety disorders during a 7-month period.
