Offering Brief Psychosocial Intervention (BPI) for young people via training, research, and advocacy across the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States of America.
We champion Brief Psychosocial Intervention (BPI) for young people through training, research, and advocacy.
Our mission is to bring BPI to adolescents with depression and related mental health difficulties worldwide. We do this by teaching the BPI method and training mental health practitioners in its application across many different health care systems including the UK, the USA, and Canada.
BPI is a talking therapy approved in 2019 by the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). This means the treatment has met a rigorous and effective scientific and clinical standard for routine mental health practice with young people.
BPI collaboratively supports young people by providing an effective pathway to recover quickly, combat depression and improve well-being.
The CambridgeBPI team is actively engaged with research into the impact and effectiveness of BPI, helping to keep our knowledge fresh and relevant.
The BPI method
We love spreading the word about BPI’s positive impact!
Our training
We train mental health professionals in the best practice application of BPI. After an in-depth training workshop, you’ll be ready to deliver supervised treatment.
Our people
CambridgeBPI is run by leading experts in child and adolescent psychiatry, with decades of clinical practice, research, and training experience at our fingertips.
What other people say
Since beginning the formal commercial roll-out of BPI in 2020 we have had positive feedback from those we have trained.
