New Mental Health App for Anxiety – Daylight

A new digital therapy in the form of a mobile app is now available for people who are experiencing symptoms of worry and anxiety.

This service is available for people aged 18+ and live in South Yorkshire.

Known as Daylight, it uses science backed cognitive behavioural techniques to guide you through exercises to tackle your worries and feelings and address your fears so you feel more in control.

Online CBT has proved to be very effective in the treatment of many mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and stress. It targets unhelpful behaviours and thought patterns common in individuals experiencing these symptoms.

Accessing support through the new Daylight app early on should help people develop helpful ways to deal with worry and prevent the worsening of symptoms and the need for referral to specialist services.

Daylight is available to adults (18+) and can be accessed directly on a web-based or mobile device at http://www.trydaylight.com/nhs

People create their own user name and password so no-one can access any of their details and all data is stored in an encrypted database. No referrals are needed.
