What is RESTORE?
RESTORE is an online intervention created to help you recover from the effects of extreme stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The intervention has been designed to help you to restore from the pandemic by working through a series of self-directed modules.
Who is it for?
RESTORE was developed for healthcare workers, first responders, other essential service workers, individuals recovered from COVID-19, and loved ones of those who had COVID-19 who are experiencing stress responses such as anxiety, low mood, irritability, or bothersome memories, thoughts or feelings about what happened.
How does it work?
RESTORE is based on cognitive behavioral therapies for posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression that have been shown to work in research studies. However, RESTORE is not a therapy but rather a self-directed intervention. You will be assigned your own intervention “guide” who will help you to apply the RESTORE skills to your own experience of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please note that your guide is not a therapist but has been trained to help you navigate through the intervention platform and exercises.
