#TryAToolTuesday raises awareness of free and trusted apps and resources that help people improve and manage their health and wellbeing.
Welcome to #TryAToolTuesday
This month we are excited to share four different apps, tools and resources:
- Living with AI - a jargon free course for people looking to build their knowledge and understanding on Artificial Intelligence. Access here.
- Stay Alive - a suicide prevention app that you can use if you are having thoughts of suicide or if you are concerned about someone else who may be considering suicide. Access here.
- Worth Warrior – an app designed for people aged 12+ to manage negative body image, low self-worth and related early stage eating difficulties or disorders. Access here.
- NHS Near Me – is a video consulting service that enables people to attend appointments from home or wherever is convenient. More information.
Tried one of these tools? Comment on this post or email at dhcscot@alliance-scotland.co.uk with your thoughts. We’d love to hear from you!
