My brother is very annoying he made me so angry. Learning to love him and not be angry all the time helped. And learning to love my new baby sister too!

#SelfLove & Motivation Journey

Young adult feedback
The app provides short activities to help reduce negative thoughts and promotes positive self-talk. It is really basic and not very entertaining but may be useful for a few minutes a day to encourage positive thinking.
Expert feedback
This app focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and providing users with positive thoughts through reframing statements. The app aims to help users better manage a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns and is simple to use. Content is limited and there is not psychoeducation provided around the purpose of thought challenge, but worth trying as users may find statements helpful.

GG OCD - Anxiety & Depression
Free Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
This app has some confusing elements, but really good concepts overall and I would recommend it to others.
Expert feedback
A user friendly app that focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and providing users with positive thoughts to help better manage a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. The design makes the app easy to use, but the information can become repetitive and tedious. There seems to be little education to highlight the reasons why a user’s belief might be unhelpful, and there appears to be cultural considerations given to suggestions. Overall, the app is worth exploring but may not be suited to users who are disengaged within 10 minutes.

Sup - Group Support
Free
Young adult feedback
Mood App allows you to communicate with other users and has a customisable journal and mood tracking function. The app doesn’t seem to address anxiety and depression or provide resources to educate others about mental health as advertised.
Expert feedback
Mood app: Journal is well-designed with engaging features including journaling, mood-tracking, and community support where users have the option of sharing their concerns publicly. The app community seems to be very active and appears supportive. The developer website is under-developed, and there is a lack of clarity about data collection, data privacy and confidentiality guidelines for the app. Considering users tend to share some very personal information, this app is not recommended for users concerned about their privacy.

CBT Companion
Free Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
This app has a good mood tracker that allows you to track multiple emotions with percentages, has good range of exercises along with lessons and videos although these are sometimes hard to follow. There were a few errors with the app including the 'tour' option not working.
Expert feedback
CBT Companion is truly an impressive, well-designed app! Not only does it incorporate a vast amount of information (via text and videos) about mental health, it also offers a variety of meditation tracks, a diary function, assessments, a community discussion board, quizzes and more. A 5-star app if not for some issues with functionality.

I know it's really hard and tough to seek help
I just wanted to express my thoughts and for someone to listen to me and to not fix me. Kids Helpline did that. I was really grateful how they were able to listen to me and yet helped me process what I was going through. I tried Kids Helpline because they were directed towards young people and were more youth-friendly than some other services. When I was talking with Kids Helpline I felt more comfortable and okay with my problems. They were not solved per se but I felt that they weren't as debilitating.
Your story can help others!
We'd love to hear how Kids Helpline helped you overcome the tough times so that we can share with others who are struggling.

My parents divorced. I barely see dad. It hurts that he doesn't give me the time of day. Talking to my friends really helps me get through.
Smiling Mind

The app was highly customisable and interesting with the interactiveness in place for the users and still having a calming contrast on the layout which did make me feel calmer with such colour schemes. I really liked the modern design of the app and the tracking that comes along with it.
