Do you struggle with low mood, stress and worrying?

Check out Project YES. You can choose from three single session interventions which could help you to learn more about dealing with low mood, stress, and worry

Each online single session intervention will take about 15 mins

Excited to share a pre-print of the latest paper from the Can We Connect study, where we explore young people’s attitudes towards single session interventions.

Despite all the available literature on SSIs, this seems to be the first in-depth, qualitative study! Feedback welcome 👇🏽
