Make 2022 the year you focus on your mental wellbeing – we’ve discovered a new app that makes it stress-free!
New year, new challenges. Whether it’s stress at work or anxiety about life in general, most of us could do with mental health breaks from time to time. But how do we schedule time to take care of our mental wellbeing in the hustle and bustle of daily life? Wellness apps are here to help.
We’ve recently discovered Intellect, an evidence-based app that makes it easy to get on-demand access to mental health wellbeing support. And no, this isn’t just your average app for on-the-go therapy – there are skill-building programs and other highlights too. Fun fact: Intellect is a global company, partnering with Fortune 500 companies and serving over three million users across the world. It’s also named as one of Google’s best apps of 2020. Today, it’s the fastest growing mental health tech company in Asia! Here’s why you should give it a go.
1. It’s self care for the mind
Developed by leading psychologists and behavioural health experts, Intellect offers bite-sized self-guided lessons that train your mind and habits. We’re talking about sessions that help overcome issues like procrastination, low self-esteem or anxiety, designed to be easily accessible and simple to follow. There’s no pressure to attend a session in person or with others in attendance – just pull up the app on your phone and find a lesson you want at your leisure.
Wanna learn how to regulate your emotions? There are courses that teach you how to manage emotions through learning paths, which help with reducing stress, fighting burnout, dealing with difficult relationships, tricky situations and more. If you ever find yourself in a pickle, the ‘rescue sessions’ offer quick bite-sized support to deal with nervousness, poor sleep, feeling overwhelmed and other stressful emotions.
2. Mental wellness habits made easy
Good mental wellbeing habits are key to keeping our mental health in tip-top condition. Take the stress out of cultivating new habits by working with Intellect’s behavioural health coaches. Yes, you can reach out to licensed professionals through video calls and on-app messaging to work on your work-related or personal goals in a systematic and empowering way. This includes working on coping skills, improving your health and wellbeing, tackling relationship concerns, or learning how to set and reach your goals effectively in your career. Coaching is available in 12 languages anywhere in the world, with coaches located in 15 countries. This gives you easy access to behavioural coaching without the trouble of scheduling an in-person session.
Plus, the app guarantees an instant match with a coach, based on the users supplying their details (language and topics) and then choosing a coach. Text exchanges can start immediately, and video sessions can be arranged as soon as the next day, depending on the coach’s schedule.
3. Enjoy free premium access this month
Making mental wellbeing support accessible to the masses, Intellect is offering free, premium access to its app in January for everyone. This comes with two credits to work with its behavioural health coaches. So go ahead and test the waters to see if it’s for you!
