STAND Coach Program design and implementation published in JMIR Mental Health
An overview of the STAND Coach Program, a component of the STAND system of care, was published in the journal JMIR Mental Health. The papers' authors present the STAND Coach Program as a solution to the “tension between the scalability and fidelity” of mental health services, particularly services that rely on professionals like coaches to support the delivery of treatment modules.

Initial set of STAND 2.0 content developed
In 2019, after collecting a great deal of feedback about and experience with the initial implementation of the STAND system of care with the UCLA student body, the DGC secured funding from our generous donors to reimagine the way we would deliver cognitive behavioral strategies to participants leveraging technology. Funding was designated for both the delivery mechanism, which we refer to as the STAND platform, and for the content.
