The National Center for PTSD just dropped an app called Covid Coach, a tool that helps people manage stress. It offers breathing exercises and guidance for tackling loneliness and irritability. It lets users track their anxiety and moods. It’s loaded with resources for getting help with problems like substance abuse or domestic violence. It’s available for free in the Apple and Android app stores.

“It's not that the app is going to pay rent for someone if they've lost their job,” says Beth Jaworski, team lead for Covid Coach and a psychologist at the National Center for PTSD, which is part of the US Department of Veterans Affairs. But Covid Coach provides free information about coping strategies, and helps people apply for unemployment or find nearby food pantries. “We've tried to put those all together and neatly organized them for folks that may be struggling with a lot of things right now,” Jaworski says.

The COVID Coach app was created for everyone, including Veterans and Servicemembers, to support self-care and overall mental health during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

FEATURES:

• Education about coping during the pandemic
• Tools for self-care and to improve emotional well-being
• Trackers to check your mood and measure your growth toward personal goals
• Graphs to visualize progress over time
