Brief Summary
With growing waiting lists in specialized youth mental health care (sGGZ) and shortages of care staff, finding creative solutions to respond to this scarcity issue is important. Online treatment is an example of this, which, especially for young people growing up in a digital age, can be an appropriate and accessible alternative to treatment at a physical location. Online treatment via video calling among youth, while researched and proven effective in a blended form, has not yet been sufficiently researched as a complete replacement for treatment at a physical location. As a result, the potential added value of online treatment for the pressing scarcity issue in healthcare is not yet sufficiently clear. This study therefore focuses on investigating the effectiveness of fully online treatment using two proven effective interventions: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) within the youth sGGZ. With the results of this research at GGZ-NHN, the investigators want to contribute to the development of guidelines and standards for the implementation of online treatments within Dutch youth mental health care.
