Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. Depressive and anxiety symptoms assessed using the GAD7 (Generalized Anxiety Disorder – 7 item scale patient self-report tool) and HoNOS symptoms scale (Health of the Nations scale, a clinician rating tool) at baseline (week 0), posttest (week 6), end of the program (week 20)<br> 2.
