“The online part is very easy to work, the platform is easy to use. If I want to read a book I can, write a poem I can, I can sit and do it without the help. It's easy to use. I like that you don't have to send things you do online to the therapist, it's your choice. If you don't send it, it's something for you to keep. I use the poems part on the platform.
