Brief Behavioural Activation

Oshn is based on Brief Behavioural Activation supporting young people aged 11+ to self-manage low mood, boost motivation, and build resilience through real-world actions and connection.

Behavioural Activation (BA), a CBT-based therapy for depression, recommended by NICE, that breaks the cycle of low mood by helping people gradually increase engagement in rewarding, meaningful activities they've stopped doing, even without motivation ("action before motivation"). It's a structured, goal-focused technique involving identifying enjoyable activities, scheduling them, and tracking progress.

Brief BA is a shorter version of BA, adapted to support young people in a shorter timeframe.

"Whenever I feel low motivation or whenever I feel like all I'm doing is scrolling on my phone, I'll just have a reminder of myself. I'm like, 'I could be doing something a lot more worthwhile and I could be doing something a lot more beneficial with my time,' and I'm going, 'Okay, I'm going to go straight to Oshn for that."

"Oshn taught me that like small things can build up and have a bigger effect. And it's not something that feels very like effortful... It's very like I just have to do this one small thing... But then it actually does make a big difference."

"It has helped me to understand myself…Oshn itself is helpful for things outside of Oshn… it makes you more intentional."
