Mental Health apps

Moodhwb:

An online programme/app developed for young people with young people and families/carers to support their mood and well-being; Moodhwb was recently awarded a 'Digital Innovation Award' by the Association of Child and Adolescent Mental Health (ACAMH) and is now being trialled in Wales and Scotland.

Many young people are not getting any help and there are long waiting lists for services. This programme could provide valuable support for young people with low mood and anxiety. It uses engaging illustrations and animations to communicate information about mental health and offers personalised support, flagging the most relevant information to the individual user.

Do you know young people and parents/carers who would be interested to trial this resource and provide feedback? To register for the trial go to: https://www.ncmh.info/help-with-research/digital-support-study/
