Big White Wall (BWW)

The BWW is an internet-based intervention that incorporates several elements of mental health care that have been shown to be effective, in a virtual environment that provides anonymity (see www.bigwhitewall.com). The on-line portal gives users access to self-assessment tools to track symptoms for a wide range of conditions over time, educational materials, a social network that allows communication between people who may have similar problems, and access to on-line courses. The service is monitored at all times by "Wall Guides" to ensure that users are responded to and that the content posted is appropriate and safe.
