Your Crisisbuddy tells you what to do when you can`t handle your situation. Crisisbuddy is meant for young adults who have to deal with extreme emotions and who have a hard time finding the correct behaviour in hard situations. The Crisisbuddy can be used under supervision, but this is not mandatory. This “crisis app” displays an overview of your skills and exercises you can do to help yourself. You can add exercises and use these to create your own signalising plan, but Crisisbuddy already contains a lot of standard mindfulness exercises. All the information, such as emotions, tendencies to certain behaviour, skills and contact with your therapist (or other people you trust) are clearly displayed. The app is compatible with your tablet and your mobile telephone. You can take it with you anywhere you go! The app uses elements from the treatment method DGT (Linehan therapy). To read more about this method, you can visit www.karakter.com The Crisisbuddy is part of DGDigitaal. A product that consists of the Crisisbuddy, the Serious Game and instruction videos.

SUPPORT Coach
Read full descriptionHide full description
De SUPPORT Coach is ontwikkeld om ondersteuning en zelfhulp te bieden aan mensen die last hebben van psychische klachten, met name traumatische stress klachten, na het meemaken van een ingrijpende gebeurtenis. De SUPPORT Coach biedt informatie over traumatische stress klachten en professionele hulp, een zelf-test die inzicht geeft in de aanwezigheid en het beloop van traumatische stress klachten, mogelijkheden in het vinden van (professionele) hulp, en een agenda functie om afspraken, oefeningen en activiteiten in te plannen. Daarnaast bevat de app talloze oefeningen die kunnen helpen bij het omgaan met traumatische stress klachten, zoals ontspanningsoefeningen, tips voor een betere nachtrust en ademhalingsoefeningen. Gebruikers van de app kunnen de oefeningen personaliseren door het toevoegen van hun eigen foto’s, muziek en contactpersonen. De app is niet bedoeld ter vervanging van professionele hulpverlening.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SUPPORT Coach at none against CrisisBuddy's 1. SUPPORT Coach also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
