In this episode host, Dr Tania McMahon speaks to Dr Kylie Bennett, Managing Director of eHub about MoodGym, eCouch, and what they have learned over the last 20 years working in digital mental health.

Dr Kylie Bennett is the Managing Director of e-Hub Health which delivers automated, evidence-based online self-help programs for mental health. The programs include MoodGym, a cognitive behaviour therapy (iCBT) training program for young people and e-couch which provides self-directed training in a range of psychological approaches for managing common mental health problems. She previously worked at the Australian National University for 15 years as part of a team which developed and evaluated e-mental health interventions, and subsequently led a commercialisation process resulting in the successful spin-off of e-hub Health in 2016. Kylie has personal experience of depression and anxiety and is passionate about empowering individuals to manage their mental health through quality and accessible resources. 

Tania and Kylie discuss how eHub came to be, what does it look like now, the differences between MoodGym and eCouch and how they fit into the Australian mental health landscape. They also speak about how practitioners can utilise eHub's programs to enhance their practice, as well as some key learnings from their time working in digital mental health.
