What do the online courses contain?
The online courses for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties contain exercises, tasks and information from cognitive therapy. Each of the online courses consists of 6 parts, with a test before and after the course is completed.
Who created the online courses?
The online courses have been created by two Norwegian psychologists, Aksel Inge Sinding and Oskar Blakstad. Parts of the courses are based on workbooks made by Molde Municipality, which we have been allowed to use. The courses have been reviewed by a number of professionals and are continuously changed if we are notified of errors or omissions.
How does it work?
Users gain access either by getting a code from their therapist/healthcare personnel or by purchasing access at course page. The user then goes to the front page AssistedSelfHelp.com to enter the code. When users have entered the code, they get the content of the course that was chosen.
It requires no installation or integration to get started. Most people manage to be up and running within a minute or two.
Privacy
An anonymisation system with unique codes is used to give users access to the system. No data that can identify the user will thus be stored in the database. The only thing that links a person to an individually adapted online course is a code consisting of numbers and letters (for example "BG42KD2") that the user is given. This method has been checked by lawyers and meets criteria for privacy protection for healthcare services.
Feedbacks
-
“It was very clear and easy to understand. Nice variation between reading, seeing/hearing and doing.”
-
“Very good clarification regarding the type of anxiety one has, this was very well described. I used to think I had panic disorder, but have learned that it is social anxiety.”
-
“It was so GOOD to sit and read! I didn't feel so weird anymore, the program normalized.”
-
“I liked that it is educational, in a way that the basic knowledge behind anxiety is easy to understand. I also like the warm words along the way.”
-
"An understanding of how the "whole" fits together. A tool for help. I think it all worked very well, and I am very happy with the knowledge I have gained from it. A parallel dialogue with the therapist (psychologist specialist) has made a complementary contribution and has been very useful. The course / treatment gives me room for reflection on the "complex" which I have not done before. It's now starting and I'm well on my way in the right direction. Many thanks for the great help and a tool further on in life!!!”
