What it is:
SPARX 1 for HABITs is an app that helps young people with mild to moderate depression. It can also help if you’re feeling anxious or stressed.

It was developed with the help of young people and is based on a type of ‘talking therapy’ called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT for short. You can do CBT with a counsellor or a psychologist but you can also learn CBT skills from SPARX 1 for HABITs.

CBT teaches skills about how to cope with negative thoughts and feelings by helping people to think in a more balanced and helpful way and getting them to do things they enjoy or that give them a sense of achievement. There is lots of research to show that CBT helps.

SPARX 1 for HABITs can help you learn how to have Smart, Positive, Active, Realistic, X-factor thoughts!

Hey this really cool app but one suggestion is it would be cool if it would be a touch screen like touch the screen and move it so you can see more of the game

Major bug

Downloaded, gave my deets and won’t even launch. As this is about mental health, it’s dangerous (Akld Uni) to not maintain this - you should decommission it.
