Description

The only Social and Emotional Support in Distance Learning resource recommended by the California Department of Education dedicated to students.

University of California, San Francisco's (UCSF) GritX is the most robust mental health and wellness resource to learn and practice to learn evidence-based health and wellness skills to help with life challenges, emotions, and personal growth.

Don’t know where to start? Try out one of our Xpeditions for the most relevant content across GritX for your specific life challenge or goal. Want a more personalized and engaging experience? Talk to our new conversational emotionally intelligent chatbot that will be your guide to the perfect self-care tool (and also makes a good companion!).

Self-Interview: This is a great way to begin your self-reflection, especially if you’re not exactly sure of what it is that’s challenging you. It walks you through, step by step, to help find what’s right for you to address your challenge.

Skills Studio: A selection of skills that can help you learn, understand and process your different emotions. Ask our chatbot for specific skills related to Anxiety, Fear, Happiness, Sadness, Anger, Relationships, Trauma or discovering your Best Self.

Self-Care Toolkit: Allows you to customize a toolkit for when you need a quick, go-to coping technique to help when things get intense, or something just to help you take care of and show compassion for yourself.

Journal: Journaling provides so many self-reflective and healing benefits. Each journal prompt will provide you with a space to write out and process those thoughts, emotions, and stressors.

Breathing Room: Allows you to get into the present moment, by literally giving you a space to breathe. The breathing room helps to calm and bring you back to center. It’s a good starting point for approaching a challenge or difficulty.

Sketchbook: This is a space for your artistic and creative self-expression to help you get grounded, calm, heal, or get inspired.

Xpeditions: This can help you get started with a bundle of content around a specific difficulty or challenge. A GritXpedition will have a little bit of everything (skills, journals, self-care tools, etc) in order to give you a holistic experience.

Backpack: Self-care tools are quick, go-to coping techniques that help you come down from overwhelming or intense emotions. Take care of yourself and show yourself some self-compassion by adding your favorite ones to your Backpack for easy access.

Gritx helps you learn principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness Meditation, and other evidence-based skills.

You can develop self-reflection in the Self-Interview, learn emotional regulation and life skills in the Skills Studio, practice breathing patterns to calm yourself in the Breathing Room, write about your experiences with a guided Journal or collect some coping tools in the Self-Care Tool Kit and more!

GritX addresses the major lack of access to quality mental health resources by providing free evidence-based psychoeducation and interactive wellness tools online. Our goal is to democratize mental healthcare so that mental wellness resources and self-care tools are available to anyone, anywhere, anytime. As a team, we share a these values:

Accessibility: Provide quality, evidence-based, mental health resources to everyone without barriers.

Best-Selves: Cultivating well-being and life skills that transform lives through personal growth and authenticity.

Creativity: Creating technology-enabled digital learning experiences that engage young adults.

Diversity: Valuing each person as an individual and embracing cultural humility.

Equity: Personalizing effective mental health care wellness for everyone to meet them where they are at.

This would get a 5 star, but…..

This is a very useful app for self care and mental health. It’s been such a huge for me during my crappy days when I need to center on something. However my only complaint is that entries in journals don’t autosave, and when I get a phone call or go on another app for a few seconds the whole entry will be erased. That can be bothersome especially if you’ve spilled your heart out in an entry and wanted to continue. Other than that this app is brilliant.

Juhzzzz ,

can’t believe this is free!!

I’m a psych student and (hopefully) future therapist, and have been amazed that all the skills and resources they have are all backed by research and are all tools you’d receive from your therapist! definitely useful for anytime you need a quick way to deal with what you’re currently dealing with. the emotionally
intelligent bot helps if you’re unsure what you exactly want! there are so many different things from journals, skills, and self care tips and they’re all free!!! i cannot rave about this app enough! there is so much content and still a lot coming in the future. would highly recommend!

Great!!

This app feels really homey and safe to me, and you definitely need to be patient with the bot, but it pays off. The bot comes off as caring and compassionate, sometimes I forgot I was talking to a bot! It encourages deeper thinking by asking important questions, but also it lets you take your time in areas to calm down. There were a lot of resources to choose from for dealing with so many problems that don’t have concrete answers, which I found valuable and I think is worth having for everyone.
