Online interventions have been firmly shown to be as efficient as face-to-face psychotherapy to treat several mental disorders (see for ex. Carlbring et al., 2018). 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. The present project aims to develop and test such an self-help online intervention, based on an existing German program developed at the University of Bern (LIVIA). It will include the following innovations aimed at fostering adherence and efficiency:
- Guidance on demand
- A focus on personal resources and hope induction
- Freedom to chose the order of the modules
- Interactive content and design of the website
- Automated e-mail support

The present project is part of the IP212 of the NCCR LIVES and has been granted a 4-year funding by the Swiss National Science Foundation
