NourishED Mind contains nine different single session interventions (SSI) placed on a smartphone application. Each SSI is designed to be brief, between 20 to 40 minutes on one occasion, and designed to decrease disordered eating, depression and anxiety in young people aged 14 to 25 years. Each SSI will contain a ‘Learn’ section with psychoeducation and a ‘Do’ section containing interactive activities. All SSIs will include psychoeducation on functional nutrition and goals focused on increasing complex carbohydrate intake to support developing better mental health, more flexible thinking, and behavioural change even when habits are of a longstanding nature. The SSI content is evidence-based, drawing upon approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, self-compassion, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, as well as eating disorder specific approaches including CBT for eating disorders and the Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment for Adults. This work is funded by NHMRC Investigator Grant (2024-2028) 2025665.
