Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Experimental: The BEAM programExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The BEAM Program is delivered through a mobile application, weekly group telehealth sessions, and an online community forum. BEAM includes ~ 20 minutes of weekly video modules on parenting and mental health. Mental health videos provide content and emotion-regulation strategies drawn from the Unified Protocol, an evidence-based treatment for depression and anxiety disorders. Self-compassion and effective communication are also central focuses of the mental health content. Supportive parenting videos will provide mothers with emotion-focused parenting strategies and help mothers understand and respond to their children's challenging emotions and behaviours. The weekly group telehealth sessions will allow mothers to discuss content and ask questions, with the purpose of developing a sense of community and social support. The online community forum will provide a space for mothers to reflect on their learned skills and connect with other mothers taking part in the program.
Group II: Standard of Care: MoodMissionActive Control1 Intervention
MoodMission is an evidence-based app which was developed based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). The MoodMission app will provide mothers with missions. Missions are mental health strategies based on scientific evidence which are easily achievable (e.g., relaxation tips, exercise and fitness activities, yoga, mindfulness meditations, affirmations and coping statements). MoodMission will tailor missions based on the mothers current mood.
