If you\\u2019ve ever wanted mental health support but haven\\u2019t been able to get it, you are not alone.

In fact, you\\u2019re part of the more than 50% of adults and more than 75% of young people worldwide with unmet psychological needs. Maybe you\\u2019ve faced months-long waiting lists, or you\\u2019re not sure if your problems are \\u2018bad enough\\u2019 to merit treatment? Maybe you tried therapy but stopped due to costs or time constraints? Perhaps you just don\\u2019t know where to start looking? The fact is, there are infinite reasons why mental health treatment is hard to get. There\\u2019s an urgent need for new ideas and pathways to help people heal.

Little Treatments, Big Effects integrates cutting-edge psychological science, lived experience narratives and practical self-help activities to introduce a new type of therapeutic experience to audiences worldwide: single-session interventions. Its chapters unpack why systemic change in mental healthcare is necessary; the science behind how single-session interventions make it possible; how others have created \\u2018meaningful moments\\u2019 in their recovery journeys (and how you can, too); and how single-session interventions could transform the mental healthcare system into one that\\u2019s accessible to all.
