Free Online Treatment for Social Anxiety - Drexel University study

[novafalls]

Drexel University offers a free online treatment program for adults (ages 18-65) suffering from social anxiety disorder and living in the United States. This program is part of a research study examining the efficacy of a treatment for social anxiety delivered through an internet-based program called Second Life.

This cognitive-behavioral treatment consists of 12 weekly hour-long sessions with a therapist. You will be taught techniques to help cope with anxious thoughts and feelings. You will also have the opportunity to practice these techniques and improve your social skills. No medication is involved. If you enroll in this study, you will be asked to fill out several online questionnaires before, during, and after your treatment period.

Hello, regarding an above comment - No worries, there is no suspicious activity in the virtual space in Second Life that Drexel University has purchased. Furthermore, only authorized individuals are allowed to access the private secure virtual therapy room we have. Many universities and businesses are using Second Life for professional purposes.

Thanks,
Erica
