Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Webinar

FPS Media PH successfully partnered with GOALS Therapy Center for the live webinar titled “Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)” on July 7, 2025. The event took place at the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA), Inc. in Quezon City.

A Seamless Hybrid Experience

To ensure a smooth hybrid experience, the team utilized a multi-camera setup. This provided back-to-back visuals for both online and on-site participants. Attendees could closely follow the discussions, panel interactions, and audience engagements in real-time, regardless of their location.

The team also organized and set up the Zoom webinar, accommodating nearly 300 attendees. They moderated live chats, handled technical concerns, and maintained a smooth workflow throughout the session. This fostered an interactive environment where participants could ask questions, share insights, and engage in discussions to enhance their understanding of CBT principles and applications.

Expert Insights on CBT

The webinar featured a speaker from CBT Australia, Dr. Monica O’Kelly. She was assisted by Dr. James Collard and Bronwyn Tarrant. Dr. O’Kelly’s presentation offered insightful overviews of CBT techniques, clinical applications, and the importance of accessible mental health care in both local and global contexts.

One key takeaway from the session was the emphasis on the role of CBT in improving mental health outcomes. This approach is vital for individuals seeking effective therapeutic methods.

Engaging Interviews with Participants

As the event concluded, FPS Media PH’s Communication Arts interns—Christian Acuña, Francis Armamento, and Carla Calderon—conducted an interview session with the event organizers and on-site attendees. The interview explored the foundation and story behind how the CBT event was formed.

These discussions highlighted the collaborative efforts that went into organizing the webinar. They also underscored the significance of mental health awareness in delivering professional development programs and therapeutic education in the Philippines.

The Importance of Mental Health Awareness

Mental health awareness is crucial in today's society. It helps to break the stigma surrounding mental health issues and encourages individuals to seek help. Events like the “Introduction to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)” webinar play a significant role in educating the public about mental health.

By providing accessible information and resources, we can empower individuals to take charge of their mental health. This is especially important in regions where mental health resources may be limited.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the partnership between GOALS Therapy Center, Philippine Mental Health Association, Inc., and CBT Australia emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness. The successful execution of the webinar demonstrates the commitment to delivering professional development programs and therapeutic education in the Philippines.

As we continue to promote mental health initiatives, we must strive to create more opportunities for learning and engagement. Together, we can foster a supportive environment that prioritizes mental well-being for all.
