Technology and Mental Health

All, Mental Health

February 22, 2022

We have all heard about the negative effects of technology in regards to mental health. Although we have no intentions of disputing any of that and are strongly for technology breaks or screen free time, we also want to offer some positivity in the world of technolgy. There are, in fact, quite a few helpful mental health tools that we would like to discuss today.

The Idea and Practice of the Week

Our goal with this week’s newsletter is to encourage you to take your screen time focus off social media and instead, shift your perspective. Why not trying to see the technology at our finger tips as an opportunity to help us find more peace, more calm, more insight and more awareness.

We have put together a list of apps/websites that you can can access right from your phone or computer. There are some with a fee, some that have a free trial period and some that are totally free. It is worth checking them out to see if they could work for you!
