Phone apps to improve wellbeing

Looking after your wellbeing has never been easier, with two apps designed to support staff mental health and overall wellbeing.

Whether you need quick access to professional support or self-guided tools to improve your day-to-day psychological health, these apps can help.

Northern Health’s Employee Mental Health and Wellbeing Program (EAP) provider, Converge, has a dedicated app that makes accessing confidential support easier than ever.

Through the Converge app, staff can book EAP sessions directly, without needing to make a phone call, access a range of wellbeing resources, including articles and self-help tools, and contact professional counsellors for confidential support.

In addition to the Converge app, the myNorthernHealth offers a range of resources to help maintain and improve overall staff wellbeing.

Key features of the app include roster and fatigue management, guided mindfulness and relaxation exercises, tools for stress management and resilience building, and health and wellbeing information tailor to staff needs.

“With a focus on self-care, myNorthernHealth empowers you to take control of your mental and physical wellbeing at any time,” said Graham Wilson, Director OHS & Wellbeing.

Both apps are available for download on iOS and Android devices:
