Learn to Live Program

Learn to Live is a free and confidential online self-help mental health resource available for all University of Minnesota Morris (UMM) students. Online therapy has been found to “be at least as effective as (face-to-face) Cognitive Behavioral Group Therapy (learntolive, 2020).” However, it does not substitute in person, face-to-face counseling.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) was founded by psychiatrist Aaron Beck in the 1960s (Psychology Today, 2020). Hundreds of studies have shown CBT to be far more helpful than a variety of other supportive therapies. CBT, “focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. CBT is considered a ‘solutions-orientated’ form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior (Psychology Today, 2020)”.
Evidence suggests CBT is, “appropriate for people of all ages, including children, adolescents and adults. Evidence has mounted that CBT can address numerous conditions, such as major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders and many others (Psychology Today, 2020)”.
