An integrated modes of care has been identified as the recommended model of care to treat this population. Social workers play a crucial role in this model, however access to social workers to support patients’ mental health conditions is scarce. To ensure in the patient’s recovery, it was necessary to investigate alternative treatment options for mental health conditions. This qualitative and exploratory study examined patients perception of using a digital application to support their mental health conditions in the absence of social workers. This study validated that digital applications could support a patient’s mental health conditions. The outcomes of this study will impact social work practice going forward and may be applied to other comorbid conditions similar to those with long-haul COVID-19.
