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 a new online course that teaches dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills — evidence-based techniques to help manage depression, anxiety, and emotional distress. The course is self-guided, meaning you work through it at your own pace over 8 weeks without a therapist leading sessions. Researchers want to see if this online format is practical, easy to use, and helpful for people with mild-to-moderate mental health challenges.
While DBT has a strong track record of helping people with depression and anxiety, most versions require working with a therapist. This trial is exploring whether a self-guided online version could make these helpful skills more accessible to people who might prefer learning on their own or cannot access traditional therapy.

You likely don't qualify if…
You will start with a phone screening to confirm you're eligible, then complete a baseline session where you'll answer questions about your mental health and register for the online course. Over 8 weeks, you'll work through the self-guided course materials on your own schedule at home. You'll complete brief follow-up assessments at 4 weeks and 8 weeks to help researchers understand if the course is working for you.
