New app aims to cut burnout for mental health workers
NCT ID NCT07247045
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a mobile app called SuperAssist that helps mental health supervisors focus on their clients' goals during supervision. The goal is to see if using the app improves job well-being, reduces burnout, and boosts the quality of care. About 180 mental health providers and their supervisors will use the app for 6 months. This is a pilot study, so it's mainly checking if the approach is feasible and promising.
