Purpose of Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a peer-led mental health support program, REACHOUT, for rural and remote communities in British Columbia. REACHOUT is a mobile app that provides free peer-led mental health support to adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The REACHOUT intervention spans over six months and empowers adults with T1D to join as either a peer supporter, who will be trained to provide social and emotional assistance, or as a participant, who will receive invaluable support from empathetic peer supporters. Additionally, peer supporters and participants can connect with the wider T1D community via a 24/7 chat room, topic-specific discussion boards and virtual happy hours.
