Involving children's family members through parent-inclusive digital mental health programmes and support can be more effective in achieving positive change, John Sharry explains
Digital mental health tools offer online programmes to improve mental health, often targeting specific psychological conditions. SilverCloud® by Amwell® is a platform providing a variety of digital mental health programmes, and has recently been conditionally recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) (2023) as an initial treatment option for children and young people, as part of their early value assessment.
The SilverCloud platform offers online programmes tailored to specific mental health diagnoses. These programmes are structured into modules of content, including interactive exercises, video resources and options for journaling and online reflection. This content is rooted in evidence-based models, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which is recommended for the treatment of mild to moderate mental health disorders (NICE, 2011), among other therapeutic approaches. Users can engage with the programme independently, and the setup aims to provide them with a personal space for self-reflection and introspection.
