About

BondRoot

Features
Read full description

When someone close goes through a hard time (grief, illness, a breakup, burnout, a job loss), you think of them on day one. Then life picks up again, and weeks go by without checking in. BondRoot helps you keep showing up. And because showing up matters in good times too, BondRoot also keeps track of a friend's marathon, exam, new baby or fresh start. HOW IT WORKS • Note the situation in a few words: "Paul just lost his father", "Sophie is starting chemo". • BondRoot schedules reminders over time: a few days later, a month later, on the anniversary. • Each reminder shows what the person may be going through at that moment and ideas for what to write. The message stays yours: BondRoot can help you rephrase it, it doesn't write it for you. LEARN TO SUPPORT BETTER Short, practical guides: what to say to someone who has lost a loved one, how to support someone with cancer, how to help without being overbearing, what to do when someone stops replying, how to support a caregiver. TOGETHER Invite others into a support circle and send a support card together. The person you support has nothing to install. FOR YOU TOO When you are the one going through something, a "For me" space supports you with check-ins. DIFFICULT SITUATIONS For crises, violence or addiction, BondRoot shows the right help lines. BondRoot does not replace a health professional or emergency services.
