At some point in their lives, a large percentage of our population will be diagnosed with a mental disorder. Many of those individuals will express a desire to access psychotherapy as part of their treatment plan. However, the large volume of requests in contrast with a limited supply of physicians and specialized providers results in an unmet need for many. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought on additional stressors and has led to increased mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression. However, with current levels of need, it is difficult to provide mental health care for everyone who needs it. Our team has created a firstline psychotherapy skills class based on cognitive behavior therapy and mindfulness skills called CBTm that has shown promising results and can be delivered in a large group format. However, it has typically been delivered by in-person groups. Due to COVID-related physical distancing requirements, we created a live facilitator virtual class held over videoconference to continue to provide these classes. The effectiveness of these virtual classes has not been examined previously but they are being utilized as the current standard of care given operational needs. Further, our team has created another virtual model, an online web-based self-directed course, that can be used as an alternative and reduces the need for trained clinician time. The principal aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the virtual CBTm classes, and evaluate whether the web-based course can be equally as effective in improving mental health symptoms despite reduced clinician resources. Within our pilot study we addressed the following objectives: 1. Measured the feasibility and acceptance of virtual methods of care for mental health treatment, that is the ability to recruit patients and monitor adherence to the CBTm program 2. Evaluated the effectiveness of and satisfaction with two novel virtual presentations of evidence-based mental health care using highly reliable and valid measures 3. Compared whether the online self-guided program was as effective as live facilitator virtual classes This training has the potential to not only reduce clinical symptoms of mental health issues, but may also build resiliency and improve quality of life among participants, further reducing the burden on our health care system. The shift towards virtual care will aid in providing specialized treatment resources to individuals in a scalable manner despite accessibility issues and geographic barriers to care, which is common in Canada.
