"In the wake of the current coronavirus pandemic, more practitioners are turning to online service delivery for children and adolescents in need of mental health support. The recent JCPP publication from Susan Spence and colleagues on internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) for anxious children is thus particularly timely."
“Certainly for now, delivering cognitive behaviour therapy using the internet rather than face-to-face offers a way of increasing access to treatment for many young people with mental health problems who would otherwise not receive the help they need”, says Spence. “With the COVID-19 virus not only impacting upon the mental wellbeing of young people, but also restricting the opportunities for receiving clinic-based treatment, the option of effective iCBT for youth mental health is more important than ever.”
