Download
This brief psychological intervention for adults applies an approach that we call Problem Management Plus (PM+). The intervention also allows for involving family or friends if this is what the client wants. The approach involves problem management (PM) (also known as problem-solving counselling or problem-solving therapy) plus (+) selected behavioural strategies. Hence the term PM+. In combining these strategies, this programme aims to address both psychological problems (e.g. stress, fear, feelings of helplessness) and, where possible, practical problems (e.g. livelihood problems, conflict in the family and so on).
