Computerized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CCBT) 

The CCBT program provides evidence-based interactive assistance with the most common issues associated with behavioral health, providing expanded virtual access to behavioral health care - whenever and wherever you need it! You can access via mobile app, tablet, or desktop. Created to support mental well-being, the program includes a library of evidence-based content grounded in science to help deal with depression, stress, poor sleep, worry and anxious thoughts, low self-esteem, and more. Register today on the Guidance Resources website (Organization Web ID: FCPS) and click on the first tile "Digital Self-Care Tools" after you sign into the website.
