Connect with anyone who is on your phone: friends, children, parents, extended family members, doctors, patients, teachers, students, coworkers, managers, and more, using this #SameHere Scale App. You are easily able to both request and share how you are doing with anyone you choose, using the same language on this “Scale” - daily, weekly, monthly, and engage in private, secured chats related to those responses. You can even choose to record and comment or journal about your own scale responses, so that you may notice your own trends over time. As you discover what actions/behaviours/exercises/therapies move you further to the left, towards "Thriving" more consistently on the Scale, you can stick with those routines, and help others you are connected with, do the same! We give individuals all over the world the opportunity to break down the barriers of communication by providing a simple but effective tool and communication platform, that fosters important discussions. Without these tools, when we ask each other, how we are doing, between two people in any relationship, we get answers like: “OK” or “Fine.” This gets us nowhere. The #SameHere Scale and the app are designed to help you open up (to yourself and/or others) to foster communication, and track response trends, over time. Never before have we had a tool to track the changes in our states of mind and tie them back to our experiences, the sensations we feel in our brains/bodies, and our mental health routines, right from the palm of our hands. #SameHere is a Global Mental Health Movement that works with everyone from schools to offices to military and professional sports teams, to normalize the conversation around mental health and social and emotional learning, and make them part of our everyday conversations. With the #SameHere Scale, we have worked with behavioral health professionals, graphic designers, and world-renowned psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and social workers to create an easy to understand (mental health continuum, or) “Scale” that puts everyone you interact with on the same page with respect to a common language that can be used to express how you are doing, and how those answers may change over time. [Key Features] * Through the app you are able to invite anyone in your phone, through any of the ways you are connected with them(text message, email, WhatsApp, messenger, etc.), to begin to share their answers to their Scale with you, and vice versa as frequently as you each would like * Your privacy is very important to us; all responses and communication that takes place on the app are securely protected * Users have the ability to respond to requests from their connection with just their Scale responses or with commentary related to those responses. * Users may also choose to mark and track their own Scale responses - where you can mark how you are doing, even before you are comfortable sharing this information with others * A Chat feature in the app allows you and your contacts to have individual back-and-forths about any response or commentary shared * You can track your response trends over time, and those of your contacts in both linear and graphic formats over days, weeks, months, and even years - through the app * Tracking these trends allows you to keep tabs on what activities, behaviors, therapies, and other modalities you may be trying, to move you to or keep you on the left, on the Scale, closest to Thriving.
