Volunteer‐aided Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT) Project

Abstract

A computer‐based programme, Beating the Blues, has been approved for use in the NHS for treating people with mild to moderate depression. It has been welcomed as an important addition to the range of treatment options available. However, some people have expressed reservations about whether this method of delivery would be appropriate for everyone. This article describes the Volunteer‐aided Computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (cCBT) Project, an innovative way to make Beating the Blues more accessible to individuals. This project is being developed by Making Space, in partnership with other public and third sector organisations, and is funded by the Department of Health.
