Online interventions have been firmly shown to be as efficient to treat several mental disorders as face-to-face psychotherapy. However, empirically validated online interventions are still very scarce in French, and to our knowledge, no such intervention exists to support people struggling with grief and separation. The present project aims to develop and test such an unguided self-help online intervention, based on an existing German program developed at the University of Bern (LIVIA). In order to foster adherence and efficiency of the program, we will bring about the following developments:
- A focus on personal resources and hope induction
- Innovative ways to foster relationships and support
- Interactive content and design of the website
