Suffering with anxiety and struggling to get support? Cam AI, a mental health startup, is offering volunteers free Cognitive Behavioural Therapy sessions for anxiety with our accredited therapists*.
Our team is currently conducting data collection and research to build a chatbot that will provide early interventions and real-time, zero-cost therapy to help young people with their mental health, such as those on waiting lists or unable to afford other forms of therapy.
The current mental health crisis means services are being overwhelmed and many young people denied access to appropriate support. Our chatbot will provide scalable, relatable, anonymous, and accessible support for those aged 12 to 24 years old, who are facing difficulties with their mental wellbeing.
Using conversational AI, we are responsibly developing an authentic and transparent chatbot that can replicate actual therapeutic techniques used by psychotherapists to cover real and diverse concerns. In order to do this we need conversations between real clients and therapists to responsibly train our AI chatbot.
Cam AI is offering volunteers free Zoom-based CBT sessions that are targeted and solutions-focused to help them understand and manage their anxiety. Each session is recorded and transcribed, removing all identifying information and different aspects of the conversations are then coded so the chatbot can use the therapists’ responses as its own. Privacy is of paramount importance to us; our sessions are confidential, and all conversations are completely anonymised by our experienced data team.
Sessions are open to young people aged 18-24 and it’s really easy to sign up. Scan the QR, complete the form and we’ll get back to you ASAP to schedule your first session.
Please see our website for further information or email therapy@cam-ai.co.uk and we will be happy to answer any questions.
Cam AI is a University of Cambridge and Judge Business School spin-out and early-stage startup with pre-seed funding. Made up of accredited mental healthcare providers, engineers and academics, the team has a wealth of psychotherapy and machine learning experience.
*All out therapists are registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
