EHealth for Mental Health in DCD

Update - Participants ..... The trackers are heading your way! Watch out for updates on your emails or mobile numbers. If you have not heard anything in the next couple of days please email Emma who will give you your tracker details.

Participating families..... we have received your activity trackers and we will be posting them to you ASAP!

There are a couple of families initially wanting to participate - who either haven't returned their consent forms or completed the baseline questionnaire. This is your last opportunity to do so! Please contact Emma if you still want to join in by COB Friday.

LAST CHANCE!

We are still waiting for our activity trackers to arrive from the supplier, and as soon as they do, it will be all systems go for our project. If you’ve been considering joining us, please get in touch NOW so that we can complete sign up process in time.

Once the trackers arrive, we will not be able to accept any further families into the program. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Update ......... Over the weekend we set up the groups for the 2025 program and there was a technical glitch which has been fixed. Those people who were able to access the groups have been removed.

We are not yet ready to allocate 2025 participants to these groups. As soon as we can, the participants for the 2025 program will receive direct invites from us to the join their group. For families who are in the 2025 group - if you have not already been contacted - you will be contacted shortly about next steps.

In the meantime, if you have any questions and/or are undecided and would like more information about the program you still have time to get in contact with us. Please contact Emma via email or messenger.
