Exploring Use of Internet-Delivered Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (ICBT) by Diverse Ethnocultural People of Saskatchewan

All clients will receive the Culturally Enhanced Wellbeing Course. The Course was originally developed at Macquarie University in Australia and was then culturally enhanced by the Online Therapy Unit in Saskatchewan Canada. The course is a trans-diagnostic Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy intervention targeting symptoms of depression and anxiety. It comprises 5 online lessons targeting: 1) symptom identification and the cognitive behavioural model; 2) thought monitoring and challenging; 3) de-arousal strategies and pleasant activity scheduling; 4) graduated exposure; and 5) relapse prevention. Materials are presented in a didactic (i.e., text-based with visual images) and case-enhanced learning format (i.e., educational stories demonstrate the application of skills) and include homework activities. Lessons are released gradually in order over 8 weeks. Therapists will spend \~15 mins. per week/per client offering support via emails and or phone calls.
