Table 2.
Examples of positive and critical feedback for all single-session interventions (SSIs).
SSI | Positive feedback | Critical feedback |
ABCa | “Thanks y’all! been dealing w some serious mental health issues and having places to remind me of my agency and joy is really helpful.” | “Despite the great intentions and work I think there is situations that are very complicated and having this intermediate bot, very few info of the person you are helping it’s too simplistic.” |
|
“this was really really helpful and i’m seriously going to try my goal/plan. I also feel awake and motivated enough to study. I’d love to see more in the future.” | “This helped me see get through my rain cloud but now I kinda feel stressed.” |
|
“Hey, this was surprisingly well done. I went in expecting it would be terrible. But you’re making mental health a really approachable topic for people. Thanks for working on reaching out to others. I’d love to see you continue with these mini-courses.” | “This is a good idea, but only works for the things one has control over. If you are terminally ill, just lost a loved one or in another uncontrollable challenge, none of these can help.” |
REFRAMEb | “This is such a great way to de-stress, I mean re-frame your stress, it’s definitely a bit helpful.” | “Less simplification” |
|
“I decided to pick up my phone and do this while I was procrastinating. It’s so crazy how this seemingly small task changed my perspective.” | “i think that one of the problems i see is that this requires people to be more specific and there isn’t a sense of connection.” |
|
“I love this so much!! It actually made me feel better, which I didn’t think it would! Thank you <3.” | “Please include physical stress reducers, as well. It is difficult to focus on reducing stress when I can’t properly string thoughts together.” |
SAVEc | “This is amazing. My thoughts of self-harm faded a bit, and prompted me to do the things alternative to when I have self-hate thoughts.” | “It would’ve been more helpful if reasons for self-harm outside of self-hatred were explored. I’m currently dealing with external circumstances that are overwhelming me and my response is to harm myself. It feels like the only way to release my emotions.” |
|
“This is the most convincing thing I’ve ever heard as to why not to self harm. Thank you so much this is so helpful.” | “I have dealed with this so long that there wasn’t really anything new to me, so it really didn’t help.” |
|
“Thank you. This course has definitely calmed me down when I was having a breakdown and thinking of hurting myself.” | “Talk about slowly building up to recovery instead of just jumping right in. Talk about how to deal with intense emotions and more.” |
