The pandemic has worsened an existing mental health crisis, meaning more people than ever before now need support. Unfortunately, under the current stepped care model, individuals with mild issues need to deteriorate significantly to meet the criteria for therapy. Including the cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) that has proved so effective at restoring mental health.

How can CBT with Skip help?

CBT with Skip is designed for Healthcare Providers to fill the gap between universal offerings, such as Every Mind Matters and more intensive IAPT services. It is a CBT app, featuring a mental health companion – Skip the dog – that chats to individuals about how they’re feeling. Guiding them towards appropriate resources based on their individual needs and built-in GAD7 & PHQ9 assessments.

During this webinar we will be discussing and demonstrating:

- How CBT with Skip chats to individuals about how they’re feeling, to support them in an informal and engaging way

- Use of built-in weekly mental health assessments (PHQ-9) and (GAD-7) to tailor content to individuals needs

- Use of NHS approved online CBT therapy to guide people to work on their mental health according to their unique needs

- Safeguarding features that allow healthcare professionals prescribing the tool to conduct proper watchful waiting
