SilverCloud - Digital CBT
SilverCloud provides a wide range of supportive and interactive programs, tools and strategies for managing mental and behavioral health issues. These programs cover topics such as anxiety, depression, general wellbeing, stress, anger management, improving sleep, communication skills and much more.
Clinical insight and experience is at the heart of SilverCloud's program development process. The evidence-based programs have been researched and written by subject matter experts.
Tools
The programs also offer a broad variety of interactive tools including a journal, a mood monitor, goal setting, audio meditations and many more. These tools aim to empower users to proactively manage and improve their mental and behavioral health.
SilverCloud programs can be used with guidance and personalized feedback from a coach or as a self-guided experience (without a coach), depending on the service you are supported by. If you have a coach, they will review your progress and any messages that you choose to share with them each week. During their review, your coach will reply to your messages and queries, while offering guidance on your next step towards thinking and feeling better.
HealthKit Integration
If you grant access to HealthKit when prompted, time spent in the app will be recorded as mindfulness minutes and will be available for viewing in Apple's HealthKit.
Watch App
The included Apple Watch App also retrieves step count and sleep data, allowing you to observe how your mood may be related to sleep and exercise.
It’s a great app but it freezes up and I have to close it out like 5 times to jus to proceed with what I was doing
Not User Friendly
MinnieBoxx
To be honest, from the get-go the structure and design was very off putting. In my opinion the app was simply just straight text with a few videos and images here and there. The “tool bar” or “settings guide” didn’t have an icon logo image to visually compute (or understand how to navigate to (“Coach Menu” or “Program Menu”.) I personally wish the “Coach” appeared more personable and real as the Welcome Letter is pretty generic and the “profile picture” of “Nick” is a vector cartoon drawing of a guy which almost makes it seems that the “Coach” is just a robot. Information on programs is helpful just wish it weren’t a “slide show of text” saying this (program is 10 pages or this program is 12 pages). While in reality 10-12 pages is not that long, most peoples attention span is far less than a minute at most especially if in general the app is tailored to those who struggle with Behavioral and Mental Health. It would be nice to see if the app were ADA compliant just so more viewers are able to use the app more frequently and instead of straight text to break things down a bit and have goal settings in place so it’s not so one-dimensional .
Lots of great tools

Inside the app are a lot of great tools for you to use to improve upon yourself. You can use them all, or only the ones that are most useful to you and your journey. I only gave four stars because the app also provides you a coach during your program, which is featured in many of the examples of how others have used the tools and how helpful their coach was, but I haven’t found that feature much useful. I just get the same generic copy and pasted response every week.
Helpful self-led service

I have been using the app on my phone when not near my computer. I haven’t had any issues with the app, maybe it helps to become familiar with the programme on the large screen of a computer first. The phone app helps me to stay consistent with completing daily practices.
Allows users to sign up through the mobile app if their organisation has enabled this option.
