The app offers a range of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools, including progressive muscle relaxation, challenging thoughts, and healthy sleep.
These tools can be used to ‘test’ and ‘adjust’ physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural reactions to stress. This would be particularly helpful for managing the daily stresses of service life, deployment, transition to civilian life, and life post-service. The tools can also be used as part of performance training. Through regular use of the tools, individuals can ‘optimise’ their performance and build resilience to stress. The app helps individuals test their resilience by taking a resilience survey, setting performance goals, and keeping track of their progress over time.
