3P3C

Being overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression doesn’t happen overnight. It develops over time in response to a combination of:

body chemistry
genetic influence
internal beliefs
environmental triggers
thought patterns
learned behaviours
misconceptions about how to deal with moods and feelings.

All these factors are interconnected, and influence one another.

These factors are also at the root of habits and behaviours that, through acting in unhelpful and unhealthy ways, cause unwanted consequences. Sometimes these behaviours may be linked to SAD – such as self-medicating with smoking, alcohol or drugs, or using food to deal with feelings.

Whatever the issue might be, therapy seeks to remedy it by helping the individual address these factors. Sadly, for someone to receive therapy, they first need to have the problem – often to the point of it being unbearable. Even more sadly, with the rise in mental health issues, there aren’t enough therapists for the number of people in need of help.

That’s why we’ve created a unique model of support – we call it 3P3C. It allows us to take a new approach to mental health in children, adolescents and adults because it’s largely preventative.

This is important because the more people we can prevent from experiencing SAD, the greater wellbeing of the general population. It will also free up therapeutic support for those who do experience stress, anxiety or depression.

3P3C has 7 key elements:

1. “CIC”

A series of easily acquired skills that provide an understanding of how to effectively manage thoughts, feelings, moods and behaviours. Central to our CIC methodology is an easy and fun process called Find your ELK.

2. Biomedical monitoring

Our unique research and understanding of neuropsychoendocrinology (NPE), and data management, allows us to monitor each individual so that they can gain an insight into their own personal biochemistry and how it creates their emotions. Charting this process gives personal understanding enabling everyone to increase control over how they deal with the feelings and moods that they experience.

3. Sleep

Support to understand the importance of good sleep, how to get optimal sleep and preserve good sleep for the family as a whole.

4. Stories

Stories reduce attrition, make learning effortless, increase receptiveness to new concepts and promote practical understanding and acquisition of new behaviours.

5. Games

Games also reduce attrition by providing a fun way to check and consolidate learning.

6. Resources

A plethora of media to support programme users in building their inner resources in a way, time and place convenient to them. Each user can have access to a personalised Programme Companion, who will provide guidance and support alongside the programme

7. Safety features

Although our programmes are designed to be preventative, rather than remedial, the creators are very sensitive to the need to provide a level of safety features. This would mean anyone having difficulty with coping with some aspects of their life can access advice, support and help from a clinically qualified person. If necessary, these advisors could make referrals to external therapists.
