About this trial
The purpose of this study is to test the impact of Healing Circuits™; a structured mental health support model on IBD patients. The eligible study participants will be randomly divided into two groups: 1. the group receiving structured mental health support with a social worker and 2. the group receiving structured mental health support via a self-directed online curriculum. Both groups will be receiving the same type of therapy, Healing Circuits™, but the group receiving the therapy via the online self-directed curriculum will be receiving the therapy mostly by web-based video instruction. The two groups will be evaluated over a period of 12 months.
