Every Tuesday the Discover Digital team at the ALLIANCE shares a free and trusted digital tool that supports health and wellbeing.
The aim of #TryAToolTuesday is to raise awareness of free and trusted apps and resources to help people improve and manage their health and wellbeing.
It has been launched across ALLIANCE X (formerly Twitter), Facebook and LinkedIn.
This April we shared five different apps, tools and resources. Why not check them out?
