The treatment steps
Digital screening
The treatment process begins with a digital screening to evaluate the client's suitability and readiness to initiate treatment. The screening contains various assessment tools to ensure a thorough selection of suitable clients and to identify any pre-existing conditions that might affect the treatment.
Access to the programme
Once a client has been accepted, they gain access to the first module of the program. Each module consists of a number of sections, each targeting certain aspects of the overall theme of the module.
At the end of each module the client is given a weekly assignment. The weekly assignment is based around self-reflection, and the replies are shared in the forum for peer support, where clients are invited to comment on each others’ entries.
The forum can also be used in between weekly assignments, as a way of connecting with others with the same problems, struggles and questions.
Digital CBT and therapist call
Upon completing a module, the progress is tracked and commented on by a therapist.
The therapist schedules a meeting with the client – by phone or in person – to talk through the client’s responses and work on any issues identified.
Then, the client is given access to the next module.
Evaluation
Upon completing treatment, and additionally at 3, 6 and 12 months afterwards, clients will be asked to participate in a follow up survey.
The follow up surveys allow the treatment provider to measure the effectiveness of the treatment, while at the same time giving the client the opportunity to assess how things are going, and whether they are satisfied with the progress they have made.
