Finding safe apps to support your mental health
With mounting evidence that mental health problems have become even more common since the pandemic, the UK government has developed a Mental Health and Wellbeing Recovery Action plan to help people with their mental health.
The Mental Health and Wellbeing Recovery Action Plan explains that digital mental health support can provide greater control and options for round the clock advice or tools. Initially, an app can help you access advice when you need it, and as time goes by can support you whilst you’re on a waiting list, becoming an early support system or safety net. Later, after a therapist has been seen, apps can reinforce strategies and track information. Apps can also help you to self-manage your mental health in your home environment.
As there are so many mental health apps available, it can be difficult to know which are safe to use. ORCHA, a leading digital health assessment organisation, has tested hundreds of mental health apps so that it’s easy for you to find safe apps.
