    • Community-based educational initiatives can improve mental health literacy and access to care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel approach by nurses in Glasgow to deliver Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills.
    • To assess the feasibility of teaching CBT to the public and other educators through 'life skills' courses.
    • To address barriers to mental health support, including stigma and workforce limitations.

    Main Methods:

    • Nurses developed and delivered 'life skills' courses in further education colleges.

  • The curriculum focused on teaching principles and techniques of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
  • Courses were offered to the general public and to other professionals (e.g., teachers) for wider dissemination.

    • Main Results:

    • The program successfully trained members of the public and other educators in CBT.
    • Participants gained practical 'life skills' applicable to managing mental health.
    • The initiative provided a scalable model for increasing CBT accessibility within the community.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing-led CBT 'life skills' courses are a viable strategy to combat mental health stigma.
    • This educational model can help alleviate the shortage of CBT-trained practitioners.
    • Further research should evaluate the long-term impact and effectiveness of these community-based interventions.
