Sober Grid – Social Network
Free- Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
Sober Grip is a good quality app that creates a space for users to connect and keep track of their sobriety. The app relies on users actively engaging with others and doesn’t offer much beyond community connection. Although the design is simple, the app provides what it claims to offer and could be recommended to young adults.
Expert feedback
Sober Grid offers global community connection for users seeking support for sobriety. The app uses a news feed-similar to Facebook- where users can share experiences, create group chats, connected with local peers, and discuss strategies to help motivate each other towards goal achievement. Users are able to create a detailed Profile and earn badges acknowledging progress achievements. An affiliate link to AA is provided but there is little offered with regard to educational resources.

Free- Offers In-App Purchases
Young adult feedback
DBT Coach offers a good variety of resources for users to engage with dialectical behaviour therapy. There are a range of ways for the user to interact with the app, including lessons, tracking, mediations and more. Most of the resources are only available upon subscription but this is a high-quality app that is worth the money if you would like some extra DBT.
Expert feedback
DBT Coach is rich in content and provides high quality information, training, tracking and mindfulness sessions. Some app navigation is required to take full advantage of the features, and peer chat can be a little slow- but this may change with future developments. The app also provides the option of being able to connect with your regular face to face therapist for real time support.

When I was 11 years old, I lost my little sister
When I was 11 years old, I lost my little sister.
In her memory, I wrote a poem of my struggles and my relief to share with the world.
When I got the call, I felt my heart break apart.
I felt myself slipping away and forever drowning in the darkness.
I cried and cried, until I could no more.
Overwhelmed, I fell deeper and deeper;
with no hope of escaping the darkness
of my own heart and soul.
Until… someone pulled me out,
gave me a hug and reassured me,
that hope is never lost and that light never fades.

Tell us your storyI was struggling with my mental health
About two years ago, I was struggling with my mental health. I was self-harming a lot and I was suicidal.
Around the same time, I attempted to take my life for the first time. After that, I was referred to child and adolescent mental health services where they diagnosed me with depression and anxiety disorder.
I also started to develop disordered eating patterns and perfectionistic traits which made my life harder.

YourCrew
Free
Young adult feedback
This is a great app to track how you’re feeling each day, while also allowing your ‘Crew’ to have visibility over this too. It’s good how you can have your safe supports listed so clearly throughout the app, in case you need to talk to someone straightaway.
Expert feedback
YourCrew is an excellent app! It offers users a chance to create a support network so that they can use it for close communication, or in times of crisis. It offers a wealth of support resources and cool features like daily journal option with great photo filters. While the visual design could use a little uplift, that shouldn't deter users from getting the app and setting up, so that they can rely on it in moments of high distress. Highly recommended!
