The aim of the ICare-Project is to establish a complex model which combines health promotion, risk detection, disease prevention and bridging waiting time until conventional treatment for the most common mental problems and disorders.
Several European countries (e.g. Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, United Kingdom,…) have not yet sufficiently implemented internet-based interventions for the prevention and treatment of mental disorders in the health care system. The aim of the ICare-Project is to establish a complex model which combines health promotion, risk detection, disease prevention and bridging waiting time until conventional treatment for the most common mental problems and disorders.
Our project aims at a sustainable implementation of the ICare model in the health care systems and a sustainable cooperation between the care structures of different European countries.
The Eating Disorders Unit of the Department for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in close cooperation with the F Porsche Distance University of Applied Sciences (Mag. Dr. Karin Waldherr, Mag. Dr. Martina Nitsch) will focus on
