Functioning
If you are interested in joining one of the interventions (or both), you will be asked to attend:
- One online interview and assessment of your current mental health
- Online group sessions with licensed therapists twice a week, up to 2 hours each, for 9 weeks. You will be using your laptop or smart device. Don’t worry, if you don’t have one, we can provide one for you!

- One follow-up interview three months after post-interview.
This will help us understand how useful, enjoyable, and impactful the intervention was to you.
