With the holiday season fast approaching, a time when stress, anxiety and depression often rise, OSF HealthCare Saint Katharine Medical Center is now offering SilverCloud, a free, confidential online mental health platform, to individuals in the Sauk Valley region.
SilverCloud has been used across the OSF HealthCare system for several years, and is now available locally to support the emotional well-being of patients and community members in and around Dixon. The platform provides self-guided, evidence-based programs to help manage stress, anxiety, depression, or a combination of these conditions.
Through the program, individuals can access modules that include mindfulness exercises, journaling prompts, mood tracking, and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques.
