General "ptsd family coach" va app

Has anybody used this app? Its a PTSD supporter app.

It gives suggestions for self care and helps determine your stress level and track it. It has phone numbers and resources if you or your sufferer need them and it takes you through a safety plan (which freaked me out) if your loved one gets violent.

It also led me to a phone number that you can call to talk to a specialist that will talk you through strategies to try to convince your vet to get help. Was about to call it....but it seems they JUST closed til Monday. I'm curious to see what they'll suggest.

I had it downloaded for awhile and never used it. I found talking to other supporters a lot more helpful than the VA... they can't even get my vet in for regular appointments as it is, what's the app gonna do?

what's the app gonna do?

Just downloaded it. That's exactly what I was trying to find out! Thanks for your input.

I am curious what self care suggestions they have. I will use that when the time comes. Curious if it will help me stay on track if I have an app.
