MSU Extension offers online emotional well-being program

Staff and wire report

Montana State University Rural Opiod Education Project Team is offering Montanans the chance to enroll in an online emotional well-being program for free.

Thrive by Waypoint Health Innovations is a self-paced and con dential online program for people who want to take charge of their emotional well-being. The program is composed of three modules that teach skills from cognitive behavior therapy that may help the user communicate more confidently, think more constructively, and do more activities that make them feel good.

Previous research via a collaboration between Montana State University Center for Mental Health Research and Recovery and Waypoint Health Innovations showed that Thrive

significantly reduces depressive symptoms. Although this research collaboration has reached its conclusion, the Montana State University Extension Rural Opioid Education Project Team has now partnered with Waypoint Health Innovations to allow for the continued availability of this program to all adult Montanans. This program omits the research component and the primary goal is to help Montanans increase their well-being.

Adult Montanans who have broadband Internet access can now use Thrive by Waypoint Health free of charge by visiting the thriveformontana.com website available at https://thriveformontana.com .
