Studies suggest that some students prefer to "self-manage" their mental health [1]. Given that many students experiencing mental health deterioration do not require high-intensity downstream treatment, self-management mental health apps can be a great, lower-intensity alternative. 

DO APPS REALLY WORK?

While the number of available apps is increasing, very few are associated with empirical evidence (meaning that we often don't know how well they truly work) [2]. App Rating Platforms, such as PsyberGuide [3], can help you decide on whether or not an app is right for you. Scholars have also published several systematic reviews that break down the positive and negative elements of a number of mental health apps [4-5].
