We know that some people prefer online services so that they can access support where and when they like. We have a number of self-guided and online services available.
SilverCloud is an online platform which provides computerised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
You may prefer to have support from people going through similar struggles and connect from home, day or night.
Online community Side by Side provides 24/7 support for people experiencing low mood and depression. It is a support community where you can listen, share and be heard.
It is free to register and for anyone aged 18 or older.
Side by Side is moderated by Mind and protected by community guidelines.
From 1 July, the Trust is changing the way we offer online support for anxiety and low mood in Cornwall.
We will no longer be offering services through Togetherall.
Instead, people in Cornwall will be able to connect with others, share experiences and access online peer support via Side by Side (see dropdown box above).
Alternatively, you could access online self-guided therapy courses from Silvercloud (see dropdown box above).
There are also other mental health services and support provided by the NHS.
As part of our work to improve services for people needing support with their mental health, the Cornwall and the Isle of Scilly Talking Therapies Team have been working with ieso to provide typed therapy to adults aged over 18.
Ieso’s fully qualified therapists have been helping people with their mental health through confidential, one-to-one, typed conversations. The online approach is making therapy more accessible, particularly for people who want to access therapy outside regular hours or do not want to speak to someone in person.
Patients have told us that typed therapy makes it easier to be open and reflect on their thoughts and behaviours than if they were sat in front of a therapist.
