What is SilverCloud

Online CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) is available free on the SilverCloud platform.

This support is offered through NHS Scotland, which means students can access this support. The programmes on offer are designed to be flexible, effective and easy to use. Some of the programmes are aimed at students, some are aimed at parents or carers; and others could be useful to anyone. You can sign up for any programme, though the student focussed programmes are:

• Space from Money Worries: can help you to understand the relationship between money and your mental health
• Space for Positive Body Image: can help you to build a positive body image and develop a healthy relationship with food.
• Space for Resilience: can help you achieve a sense of wellbeing and satisfaction, in all areas of your life.
• Space from Stress: can help enhance existing stress-busting strengths and skills, and build new ones
• Self-Management Toolkit: can help you to become an optimal self-manager and teach you important skills and tools to use during periods of change and uncertainty.
