Systemic therapy informed self-help and paraprofessional training in a naturalistic setting: study protocol of a digital randomised trial.

Methods

Our exploratory, randomised, controlled, pre-post-follow-up study is recruiting two samples of participants: (i) for the ST-informed online self-help/growth path intervention amongst members on the 7 Cups platform, (ii) for the ST-informed online paraprofessional/listener
