This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing an online therapy program called the Shyness Program, which teaches cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques to help people with social anxiety. The program has been successfully used in Australia and is now being adapted and tested in Canada (in both French and English) to see if it works well for Canadian patients and to understand how to best deliver it.
Social anxiety disorder affects many people and can make it hard to work, learn, and enjoy life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people needed mental health support but had trouble accessing therapy due to limited resources. This trial aims to make high-quality therapy more accessible by testing whether an online program can effectively help people with social anxiety, especially those who face barriers to in-person care.
