Mental Health
Screen, counsel, and follow up, with continuity of care between every session.
The Challenge
Mental health teams face rising demand while access and continuity of care remain hard to sustain.
Stigma and sensitive data
Private records demand careful, confidential handling.
Training non-specialist workers
Lay counselors deliver care with limited clinical background.
Following structured protocols
Screening and therapy steps must be applied consistently.
Put resilience skills on the phone workers already carry
- Courses like Discovering Resilience and Building Resilience Skills
- Each one broken into short reads of three to seven minutes
- Covers signs of stress, breathing for relaxation, and calming the mind
Practice areas for the part that is hardest that week
- Stress management, mindfulness, self care, connecting with others, seeking support
- Short videos and quick surveys, not only things to read
- Anything useful can be kept in My Favorites for later
The same questions, asked the same way each month
- A short resilience survey on bouncing back from hard times
- A wellbeing survey on how cheerful, rested, and active the last weeks felt
- Answered on the worker's own phone, in their own time
The trend line belongs to the worker
- Every survey kept with its date, total score, and result
- Wellbeing and resilience plotted so the direction is obvious
- The worker sees their own history first, not a supervisor
