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.

If I had a chance to talk to someone earlier I would have. Because all you need is for someone to listen.
Headspace
Free. Offers In-App Purchases.
Young adult feedback
Highly certified app with very entertaining components relatable across multiple types of populations such as students and children. Although it is high quality with information and interactiveness, I would not necessarily pay for the app and in some cases I feel if students or children were to use the app without their parent's knowing for personal uses it may be difficult for them to want to pay for some of the most beneficial features which are not for free.
Expert feedback
This Headspace app makes meditation simple! This app uses the principles of mindfulness meditation to help improve focus, mood and sleep while working to reduce anxiety and stress. The free version allows users to 10-session trial before needing to subscribe to have access to a wider variety of sessions and programs. The downfall is that the subscription can be expensive.

There is always someone there to listen
Not only do I have normal stresses such as school work and relationships, I also have the substantial worry of not being the same as everyone else and the persisting worry of how I look. I put a lot of pressure on myself.
When I am feeling anxious overwhelmed and confused I contact Kids Helpline web counselling for some great advice.
I have never had the courage to call, butI know there is always someone there to listen. No problem is ever too small or too big. Thank you Kids Helpline.
