Beating the Blues will be decommissioned and replaced with the Silvercloud package for comorbid depression and anxiety from 1st December 2022. Review found that Silvercloud was rated higher with minimal technical issues and a more modern and usable platform. An additional benefit is that in addition to the Silvercloud comorbid depression and anxiety package, which will be the direct replacement for Beating the Blues, there will also be 3 additional packages made available. These include depression alone, anxiety alone and Generalised Anxiety Disorder. This will allow greater treatment specificity when required.

SilverCloud - each separate package contains modules based on CBT, mindfulness and positive psychology covering the following conditions:
  • Comorbid depression and anxiety (direct replacement for Beathing the Blues)
  • Depression alone
  • Anxiety alone
  • Generalised Anxiety Disorder
  • Social anxiety
  • Health anxiety
