Abstract

In this project, we aim to find key self-care elements that foster mental health during COVID-19 lockdown-periods. We will conduct longitudinal survey during lockdown periods to identify putatively effective self-care strategies. Next, therapy-based self-help interventions that foster these strategies will be developed and distributed in wait-list controlled intervention trials to test their efficacy while simultaneously providing practical help for people affected by lockdown measures.
