Amwell’s SilverCloud Health Launches Family Support Suite to Address a Wide Spectrum of Family Mental Health Concerns

SilverCloud Health, the world’s leading digital mental health platform, that is now part of Amwell, announced today the launch of a new six course program suite, featuring programs, content, interactive tools and videos aimed at addressing family mental health, in direct response to needs from the COVID-19 pandemic and recent global events.

“The pandemic coupled with global times of uncertainty have put an immense amount of pressure on almost all families – yet there is an alarming lack of effective, accessible, solutions available today that address the needs for the whole family,” said Ken Cahill, General Manager of SilverCloud Health. “Resources are needed now more than ever as households across the U.S. struggle as a result of the global pandemic, and we’re extremely proud to introduce these programs, tools and videos in an effort to help fill these gaps for families at various stages of life. With the introduction of our Family Support Suite, participants will learn about the importance of seeking help, setting goals and self-care, all while building strong support networks in an effort to establish long-lasting, positive results.”

The new family programs, tools and videos were piloted through California’s MemorialCare, a nationally acclaimed leader in integrated primary and behavioral healthcare.

“Family care is incredibly important to us and a key part of our brand, and to see SilverCloud Health tackle the initiative of providing family mental health resources was something we wanted to make sure we were a part of,” said Dr. Mark Schafer, CEO of MemorialCare Medical Group. “On top of addressing this need, SilverCloud Health’s approach to helping our patients build the skill sets they need to achieve success long after the program is over is critically important.”

The programs being launched include Space for Early Parenting, Supporting an Anxious Child, Supporting an Anxious Teen, Space from Anxiety for Teens, Space from Depression for Teens and Space from Depression and Anxiety for Teens. These programs are delivered digitally, helping to also improve access to care for those in need. Leveraging SilverCloud Health’s unique and clinically-validated internet-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (iCBT), the programs deliver mental health care—at scale—and support:
