START NOW WebApp: Skill Training for Promoting Resilience

"The WebApp is based on the existing manualized START NOW skills training. START NOW aims to improve emotion- and stress regulation, social competence, effective management of encountered problems/crises, subjective well-being and resilience through improving an individual's level of psychological flexibility. It primarily employs a cognitive behaviourally oriented group skills training with integrated components from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care and Motivational Interview (MI) techniques.~During the training, participants will encounter different exercises to help them train their skills. There are several mindfulness exercises in the form of audio tracks, containing, e.g., instructions on a breathing exercise. The skills training phase takes place over a period of 9 weeks (sessions 1+2, 9+10 and 11+12 are double session)."
