I just got it from a collaborator on our study, and he provided some information about the user statistics and things so far in the first few months of the rollout. One of the most startling things was just how few people were really aware of it. There is a lot of money that's already been pumped into this online program, so there is still a lot to be done to promote it and make it available to those people who need it.
I do want to add one other thing—coming back to something Dr. Sareen said, which is really important—which is the idea of providing stepped care. This kind of online Wellness Together program would be good for a lot of people who are having trouble coping, who are having a new onset or an increase in anxiety or depression or feeling isolated. However, there is a difference between providing care to those who might have an exacerbation of a pre-existing psychopathology—those who might have mood and anxiety disorders that may or may not have been well treated pre-pandemic, and what kinds of services those folks need—versus those who are developing new psychopathology, that is, clinical levels of anxiety and depression, and who can't get services, versus those who are just more stressed out and having trouble coping with day-to-day life.
This kind of stepped care idea is really important. I think we need to make sure that.... Some of these counselling-type online programs might not be suitable for those with more severe psychopathology. I'd be interested to hear more from Dr. Sareen, but I just wanted to clarify that.
