Mental health goes largely unforgotten, and it wasn’t until recently that people began realising that mental health issues can often be as serious as physical ones. Mental Health Awareness for Mind, Mood, and Wellbeing is an app developed by Healthy Minds Online, and offers incredibly detailed and important courses on how to keep your mental health in shape in the chaotic world we live in.
Mental Health Awareness for Mind, Mood, and Wellbeing consists of 12 unique courses created by Healthy Minds Online: Anger Management, Bereavement, Prevent Bullying, Prevent Child Abuse, Prevent Cyber-Bullying, Depression, Domestic Abuse, Midlife Crisis, Postnatal Depression, Prevent Self-Harm, Managing Stress, and Suicide Awareness. Not all will be relevant to you and your life, but each course offers therapy for people suffering from particular feelings and emotions. Courses are laid out simply in a course list and so the app is easy to navigate around, so finding the right course for you is as easy as can be. As soon as you feel you have found the right area, a ‘Buy Courses’ section allows you to purchase the whole course at a cost of £4.99.
Each course is developed to teach readers more about that specific issue. For example, the Anger Management course is an insight into the potential root causes, and a detailed description of what anger itself actually is. Not only does this serve to give those suffering from Anger Management more of an idea of what’s going on inside their mind, but it also helps friends and family of that particular person to understand more closely what their issues are. With the inclusion of techniques, tools, and coping strategies, the app can also be useful for a person studying Anger Management, giving them ideas as to how they can help sufferers.
Mental Health Awareness for Mind, Mood, and Wellbeing is a cost-efficient way of searching for help, whether it be for you or someone else. The fact that it can be used on multiple devices means it can be used whenever a person needs it, and that more than one person can use it at a time. There are no limits to how short or long the course can be, so whatever your reasons are for studying on the app, you can do it at your own pace. Healthy Minds Online has designed this app for one purpose: to help those in need and increase understanding of the issues surrounding mental health. Not only is it executed brilliantly, but it’s an important reminder that we need to learn more about these problems.
