Tools for resilience: A Mobile phone and web-based intervention for improving mental wellbeing and reducing distress in adolescents and young adults with Type 1 diabetes 11 September 2015 Living with type 1 diabetes can be hard work. Self-care is complicated, BGLs can be unpredictable, and juggling the clinical demands of diabetes with the demands of ‘real-life’ can make it hard to stay motivated.

The Black Dog Institute is currently looking for young people with type 1 diabetes to help us find the right way to offer emotional support. We’re researching a program that can be accessed online 24/7 on computers, tablets, or smartphones. Participation is completely online and participants will go into a draw for an iPad.
