Reflection is a journal that writes back. Write or speak about your day, and Reflection's AI Coach replies right inside your entry with a question that helps you go a layer deeper. Over time your journal becomes something you can ask: what has been weighing on you, what brings you joy, how your mood has shifted since spring. NEW IN REFLECTION 7 A complete redesign. The journal is calmer and more spacious, with nine color themes, a rebuilt Coach, one + button for everything you add to an entry, and Focus Mode for longer sessions. It's faster, too.

Development of crisis intervention applications for mobile devices RPSD is a crisis intervention mobile app that includes a comprehensive kit of crisis management guidelines. This model is referred to as the RPSD Crisis Intervention Model. The RPSD crisis model is comprised of four stages in the crisis management process: "R" for rapport, "P" for assessment, "S" for support, and "D" for action force, as well as integrated client values, culture, and spirituality. The crisis intervention guidelines module was developed because of the integration of the RPSD crisis model's four stages. While the intensity of the crisis is determined by instruments or measuring instruments. This instrument evaluates the client's crisis in terms of both severity and symptoms. These crisis intervention mobile apps have the potential to benefit counsellors in Malaysia, particularly in the future, as well as the public, by assisting them in recognising and comprehending crises and crisis interventions. By and large, the prototype developed serves as an excellent guide for counsellors interested in conducting crisis intervention in a systematic and structured manner.
