Created by Anxiety BC (a non-profit organization dedicated to increasing the public's awareness and access to resources on anxiety disorders) and BC Mental Health & Substance Use Services, this app is your own personal and portable coach to help you face challenging daily situations and to help you regain control of your life.
MindShift is a multi-facited app for smart phones, which is designed to help teens and young adults cope with varying levels of anxiety.
The app gives answers to FAQs about anxiety, but also has many other tools to help you deal with your anxiety.
One of the most unique features of the app is called My Situations. This feature allows you to insert certain situations and then rate to what extent this affects your life. Then, after a period of time, you are provided with a tailored program to help you handle the situation. These include chill-out tools and relaxation exercises.
3. Check Yourself –a tool to document your anxiety at a certain time by keeping track of things such as racing heart, tightness in your chest, nausea or diarrhea, feeling on edge, etc.
