TODAY! App and Coaching

The TODAY! app uses the skill building structure of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). The intervention will be divided into "modules," each devoted to a particular skill. Skills addressed within the intervention include increasing social support, engaging in goal-driven behaviors and reducing mood-driven (i.e., avoidance) behaviors, seeking out positive activities, replacing cognitive distortions with more adaptive thinking styles, improving problem-solving skills, reducing avoidance patterns, and increasing alternate coping strategies. The intervention will be supplemented with brief human contact in the form of a motivational coach. The Coach will be trained on the Motivational Interviewing principles upon which the coaching protocol is based.
