Guided Group Telehealth to Deliver Evidence-based Therapeutic Care to Black College Students

The goal of this study is to address the mental health crisis among college students by creating a promising solution for group teletherapy, which is equivalent to individual teletherapy in terms of treatment outcomes.The main question it aims to answer is: if participants' outcome measures in TheraGroup are in line with participants' outcome measures in individual therapy. The goal of the current SBIR is to test TheraGroup, the first large scale virtual group platform for evidenced-based mental health therapy. The TheraGroup application addresses the market surge in the demand for care and the shortage of mental health professionals as it represents an economically viable treatment alternative to individual teletherapy.
