Hi everyone. My name is Erica and I am a doctoral student at Drexel University.
I wanted to tell you an opportunity to receive free online treatment for social
anxiety:
Drexel University offers a free online treatment program for adults (ages 18-65)
suffering from social anxiety disorder and living in the United States. This
program is part of a research study examining the efficacy of a treatment for
social anxiety delivered through an internet-based program called Second Life.
This cognitive-behavioral treatment consists of 12 weekly hour-long sessions
with a therapist. You will be taught techniques to help cope with anxious
thoughts and feelings. You will also have the opportunity to practice these
techniques and improve your social skills. No medication is involved. If you
enroll in this study, you will be asked to fill out several online
questionnaires before, during, and after your treatment period.
