SilverCloud
is an online, anonymous, self-guided, interactive resource that
provides UW System students, faculty, and staff with no-cost,
confidential help with mental health well-being and stress management.
It is a time-flexible option available 24 hours a day that
may be effective for employees who experience mild to moderate symptoms.
Each module lasts an average of 40 minutes and automatically saves
progress, so the modules can be completed at your convenience.
SilverCloud is not designed to replace in-person mental health
treatment for complex issues but may be an effective option for
employees with mild to moderate symptoms. The purpose of SilverCloud is
to:
- Help manage day-to-day stresses and anxiety
- Improve resilience
- Teach skills to understand thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
- Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety
