Yet another app.\u00a0\u00a0 This is no ordinary app though. The Royal<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>, \u201cone of Canada\u2019s foremost mental health care and academic health sciences centres\u201d, developed the <strong>Healthy Minds<\/strong> app<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>. Aimed at post-secondary students, Healthy Minds is \u201ca problem-solving tool to help deal with emotions and cope with the stresses you encounter both on and off campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/healthy-mind.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-3945\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/healthy-mind-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"healthy mind\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>When you download Healthy Minds it opens with a short explanatory video showing you how to make best use of the app. The authors of the app ask that you do three things \u2013 think about one problem you want to focus on, write what led to the problem, what thoughts, feelings and behaviours this problem caused and what happened after the problem. Why? As Dr. Simon Hatcher says in the video, \u201cSo you can change how you react in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In the Mood section you are prompted with a \u201chow are you feeling?\u201d and you can choose from nine moods. When you click on the submit button you are then sent to a text box where you can write about \u201cwhat happened before you felt this way\u201d. You can even add a photo if you wish. Once you submit this text, depending on the emotion you chose, you there are helpful suggestions. For example, if you choose \u201cangry\u201d you will be asked if you want to take a moment to try the Breathe activity.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I agree with one reviewer who said they would like to see more moods to choose from.\u00a0\u00a0 They suggested that \u201cmotivation\u201d be included. I work with post-secondary students everyday and I know that motivation or the lack of motivation can be a big issue.<\/p>\n<p>There is a Timeline feature that keeps track of your moods. The Activities section includes Breathe, Stress Buster, Mind and Body information and my favourite \u2013 Problem Solving. Each of the activities includes information, strategies and resources.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Learn section you will find information for youth, friends and caring adults.\u00a0\u00a0 There are warning signs, coping strategies, resources and each page ends with a \u201cwant to talk to someone?\u201d link.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any concerns about privacy the Healthy Minds app does not transmit information and is only stored on your personal device.<\/p>\n<p>Healthy Minds is easy to use and strikes me as an excellent tool to share with students or any youth. \u00a0You can download it for free from the iTunes store or Google Play.<\/p>\n<p>Dawn M.
