A new study is looking for people with psoriasis to trial an online self-help programme.

• How difficult it can be for people with psoriasis to access emotional support
• Whether self-help can reduce distress and support wellbeing
• Whether online support can build self-compassion.

How can I take part?

The study needs volunteers to:

• Take part for around 9-15 weeks
• Finish a five-week online self-help programme
• Fill out questionnaires before, during and four-weeks after the programme

Abbey Hackman is supervised by Dr Michelle Wilson and Dr Alexandra Mizara. You can sign up or find out more online.
