Regardless of whether the incident affects a whole community or just one or two people, the App has two main functions:
Psychological First Aid
To support individuals immediately after an incident by helping them to understand their reactions, offering strategies and, if necessary, signposting them to further support
Psychosocial Support
To offer information for helpers, friends, colleagues, managers or family members, providing information on what to do and, just as importantly, what not to do to support those affected

of NHS staff would recommend it to their colleagues
The app meets the standards set out in the ISO 22330: Guidelines for People Aspects of Business Continuity, and those of the World Health Organisation, International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, European Network for Traumatic Stress and the British Psychological Society amongst others for post-trauma care.
“An incredible resource that finally gives employers AND employees the tools and resources they need to guide them through both the short and long-term recovery process following a traumatic event in the workplace … an essential resource within any organization’s crisis management toolkit”
“The app is extremely useful. The sections help to break down what you are feeling into bite-sized pieces. Having it explained through the app also made it less intimidating and ensured me that going to seek professional help was ok, what was going through my mind was normal after what I went through.”
