SilverCloud
A SilverCloud programme consists of 6-8 modules and we advise people to try and complete 1 module per week. However, people have different learning styles and requirements, so you can dip in and out at your own pace and in your own time.
Put the skills and strategies you have learned into practice in your daily life.
Welcome to SilverCloud, an online therapy platform designed by clinical experts to help you improve your mental health and wellbeing. Its programs use evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and even positive psychology.
Simply login to access program modules. Typically you'll see seven to nine modules filled with videos, quizzes and interactive content.
SilverCloud has great tools that you can use to improve your symptoms, including a journal, a mood monitor, activity scheduling and the worry tree. Within the platform you'll learn about basic psychological concepts through animations and illustrations while real user stories show how these ideas can be applied to daily life. Screening tools like the phq-9 and gad7 help to track your progress.
Programs can be done on your own or with the support of an assigned coach in the coaching model. Trained coaches inspire and motivate you on your journey through regular messaging. Your coach can answer any questions, point out relevant content, and customise your journey with additional modules. Coaching happens over an eight- to twelve-week period at a recommended pace of one module per week. A module usually takes about 40 minutes to complete.
We offer convenient access across devices like smartphones tablets and computers, providing on-demand care anytime anywhere.
