Mental Health Wellness 2

A digital mental health intervention (BetterHelp, Mountain View, CA) provides users with access to online therapy care for treatment of depression and anxiety. This feasibility randomized controlled trial compares clinical outcomes of an intervention group, who will enroll in the digital mental health platform, to a control group.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an internet- assisted Career-Oriented Work-Related Soft-skills Training (iCareer) intervention, infused with cognitive behavioral therapy, targeting individuals ages 16-24 with mental health conditions, to improve employment outcomes. The overall objective is to help transition-age youth (TAY) with psychiatric disabilities achieve optimal employment outcomes as part of successful transition to adulthood. Findings will have implications for enhancing and developing pre-employment services for TAY with psychiatric disabilities.
