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 August we shared 4 different apps, tools and resources. Why not check them out?
Human Rights Town – Designed to empower people with learning disabilities to recognise and realise their human rights. More info here.
Jointly – An app designed by carers for carers. With group messaging and to-do lists, medication lists, calendar and more. More info here.
My Sugr – The mySugr app is a digital logbook that can help make living with diabetes a little easier. More info here.
SAMH Digital Self-Care Plan – Designed by young people, for young people, the plan includes tools to help you better understand self-care, and create your self-care plan. More info here.
