This section will demonstrate the considerations you have needed to make when PLANNING
your program and what you want to achieve. It will include the processes you will need to put in
place to achieve your goals, the objectives you wish to address in order to get there and any
challenges you might need to be overcome? What cultural or political considerations might need
to be made? Why you might make the decisions you have in terms of how you wish your
program to appear or what you would like it to do for your target audience?
Question 1:
What is the SMART goal of your program?
This is the broad overall aim (long term
changes) and who is your target population?

experiences such as guilt, dissatisfaction,
irritability, social withdrawal among others.

Question 2:
What are the objectives that relate to your
goal? What strategies will you use to realise
these? – relates to impact evaluation
(What changes do you need to make to
achieve the goal?)
Ensuring that the tools of measuring
depression are dully filled and cross-
examine to avoid any bias
Written informed consent will be requested
from the potential participants before being
included in the study.
An inclusion criterion will be dully followed
to ensure that only viable participants are
included in the study
(Jirojwong, Johnson, & Welch, 2014)
Question 3:
What are the actions or activities related to
the objectives? What things will take place
on the ground? - relates to Process
evaluation
(What will you DO to make the changes?)
Recruitment of additional research
assistants.
Re-examination of the Beck questionnaire
and ensuring workability
Seeking for permission from relevant
authorities.
The CBT will consist of eight modules: The
first module will consist of introducing the
client to the treatment overview, followed by
a review of the crisis plan with the client to
help determine the patient’s treatment
preference. The third module will consist of
psychoeducation in which the clients will be
assisted to understand the symptoms
associated with depression. The last three
modules will consist of breathing retraining,
cognitive restructuring and generalization
and termination of training (Clarke et al.,
2015; Dorsey, Briggs, & Woods, 2011).
Question 4:
What is your timeline? What challenges
might occur in meeting your targets?
(How long do you need to make things
happen?)
Timeline: 16 sessions in 12 weeks
Challenges
The possible challenges in the
implementation of the program include an
unwillingness to participate in the
intervention for various reasons. For
example, some patients may have a
treatment preference different from the
current intervention.
Dishonesty on the part of the participants
while filling in the Beck Questionnaire. This
is likely to produce a false level of
depression on the part of the client thus
affecting the validity of the study outcomes.
