Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This project aims to provide a previously validated mindfulness meditation app to up to 200 adults waitlisted for psychological services in a psychiatric hospital setting or in the broader community. Outpatients (or community participants) who have been referred to and waitlisted for treatment for their mood, anxiety, alcohol, and/or substance use concerns, will be offered access to the digital intervention for 1 year. We will follow participants for 3 months to evaluate usability and psychological symptoms.
