Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: ExperimentalExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants randomized to the experimental group will complete baseline assessments, the 6 week AMT treatment online and then complete the follow up assessment (8 weeks total)

Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention

Participants randomized to the control group will be matched to the experimental group on demographic and outcome measures. Control participants will take the baseline assessments, will wait 7 weeks and take the follow-up assessment (8 weeks total). Control group participants are able to enrol in the AMT intervention at the end of their wait-list control period.
