ECoWeB: Assessing and Enhancing Emotional Competence for Well-Being in the young

The ECoWeB Project aims to develop and disseminate a mobile application (App) to provide engaging and personalized tools and psychological skills to promote emotional wellbeing and prevent mental health problems in adolescents and young adults.

The project team involves 8 European nations (the UK, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Greece, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and Switzerland) working together in order to improve mental health care and access for youth. 

Our role in the project is to develop an intervention which changes the negative way in which some young people think about social situations via a technique known as cognitive bias modification of interpretations (CBM-I). We are still in the process of developing the intervention. A large multi-site randomised controlled trial of the intervention will begin in April 2020.
