We offer a mental health self-help program called SilverCloud, where you can instantly access materials shown to have a positive impact on depression, anxiety and stress.
You can log into the program from any device as often as you want, and we'll regularly support you as you work through the materials.
Once you have completed the program, you will still be able to access the information in your account for up to a year.

Unfortunately SilverCloud is only available in English at the moment. If you'd like to access our services but don't speak English, please self refer via your local team's web page and we will contact you to arrange an interpreter.
What to expect after completing the SilverCloud referral form
You will receive an email from SilverCloud asking you to complete a questionnaire and select a treatment programme to work through.
This information will be reviewed by your local team and we'll contact you. This is often in an email, but you may also receive a text or letter. Please keep an eye on your junk email box as often emails end up there.
How does SilverCloud work
SilverCloud is an online cognitive behavioural therapy programme. It's flexible, effective, easy to use, and puts you in control of your own progress. You can work through at your own pace and complete the tasks at times to suit you.
You will speak to a psychological wellbeing practitioner on the telephone at the start and end of your treatment. You will also receive weekly emails from them as they will review the progress you are making.
After you complete a SilverCloud programme
Your final review will be over the phone with your supporter. During this appointment we will discuss and review your progress with the programme and decide together if you require any further support from Healthy Minds.
Whatever is decided, you will have access to the materials on SilverCloud for 12 months.
If you sign up and change your mind
Once you are allocated to a therapist you will have weekly reviews via email. If at any point, you have questions about the programme or you feel it isn’t right for you, please leave us a message to let us know. We will be happy to discuss alternative treatment options with you.
If we notice that you don’t log on to your account for two weeks once treatment has started, and you haven’t left us any messages, at that point, we will assume you do not wish to continue with SilverCloud and will discharge you back to the care of your GP.
