Brief description This project aims to evaluate the feasibility of implementing evidence based psychological interventions to treat geriatric depression and anxiety in real world (public and private) mental health settings. The outcomes of this research will provide important information about how to effectively translate evidence-based low intensity and moderate intensity interventions into routine care, and the cost benefits associated with such a model.
