I feel more self-aware after finishing the program it’s not an emotion, but it encourages me to feel emotions. I feel more joy after using the app.

The support and encouragement felt genuine. It makes sense for the reason it was made...it wasn’t made for money, but to help people

Alexandra

It was a nice process to go through because it was more engaging and I cared about it more because it was about things that really mattered in the ‘me’ department. It helped me think more about my mental health and how I feel at certain times and it taught me how I should react differently.

My mood is overall better. I still wake up the same, I still have the same behaviors, but I’ve found that my coping mechanisms are a bit better. Like if I feel overwhelmed, I won’t just go to sleep, I’ll sit down and write things down or something. I think it’s helped me realize the importance of the mundane tasks. I have better coping mechanisms as the result of the app.

Massive improvement. Feel better able to switch off, with the bedroom now becoming a zone for sleep, rather than procrastination for hours with no sleep.
