Summary

This study tested a digital aftercare program for 60 children and teens leaving psychiatric hospital care. The program used regular video calls and a secure smartphone messenger to connect patients, parents, and teachers with their hospital therapist. The goal was to ease the return home, improve quality of life, and reduce the need for future hospital stays.
