A 12-week Feasibility Trial of a Mental Health Breakfast Show Wakey

Everyone who has downloaded the app will receive a 9-minute morning show as an alternative to an alarm clock every Mon-Fri for 12 weeks. The show is presented by a cast of presenters who appeal to the target demographic. The intervention content is theory and evidence led, drawing on approaches from cognitive and third-wave psychotherapies, positive psychology interventions (such as those based on resilience training and growth mindset), and lifestyle mental health interventions. Additional content will be provided on the app to support the theory and techniques that are covered in the show. Fun content will also be posted in an ad-hoc manner that complement the shows or relate to cultural dates and aim to increase engagement. Wakey! will avoid any polarising topics such as politics, religion and folk science. There are several features beside the show itself: a moderated live chat between 6-9AM, feedback for users (e.g. how many days they have seen the show, current energy levels).
