Zoom up your mood – a pilot study examining the efficacy of video-conferencing versus face-to-face delivery of group CBT for depression for out-patients attending a secondary mental health service in Ireland
Abstract:Background:
Cluain Mhuire is a secondary adult mental health service based in Ireland. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in many services moving online, including our coping with depression group.
