Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: e-PsychotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants in the treatment group will receive access to the hub's services which begin with six weeks of online psychoeducation. Participants will be recruited through on-campus flyers, advertisements and wellness-center announcements, media advertisements, expert end-user referrals, and self-referrals. Participants will be excluded if they have active psychosis, acute mania, and/or active suicidal or homicidal ideation, and have received psychoeducation or psychotherapy like that offered by our proposed hub in the past six months. Participants with high disorder severity will be referred to other community resources determined by clinicians and therapists on the research team.

Group II: Treatment as UsualActive Control1 Intervention

TAU will consist of medications, regular physician or clinician visits, referrals or consultations that are conducted outside of the current research study.
