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 July we shared five different apps, tools and resources. Why not check them out?
- By My Side: provides information to prevent drug-related harm, support for mental health, sexual health and those affected by domestic or sexual violence.
- My Endometriosis Team, a free social network that makes it easy for you to connect with other people living with endometriosis.
- Playlist for Life, harnessing the powerful effects of personal music to help anyone who is affected by dementia, their families and carers.
- Holly Health, a digital health coach app that turns your health intentions into achievable daily actions
- Human Rights Town app, which is designed to empower people with learning disabilities to recognise and realise their human rights.
Tried one of these tools? Give us a shout on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook , LinkedIn or email at dhcscot@alliance-scotland.co.uk with your thoughts. We’d love to hear from you.
