Join a Study
The following studies are currently recruiting participants:
SPARX
SPARX is therapy in the format of a game designed to help teens with mild to moderate depression and is also effective with anxiety. The target age group is 12-19 however other youth can use it too. SPARX uses CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) to help youth change how they think about things and how they behave which leads to improvements in how they feel. Designed and clinically tested by the Department of Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland, SPARX is fully funded by the Ministry of Health so it is free for anyone to use in NZ.
