Description
*ReliefLink is an innovative free app developed specifically for suicide prevention and more generally for improving your mental health that brings confidential and supportive help right to the palm of your hand!
ReliefLink enables you to create a personalized profile that includes pertinent information such as your mental health professional’s contact info, insurance coverage, and current medications. Track your mood and thoughts daily, create a safety plan, make a list of reminders (e.g. appointments, take medication, etc.) and check out the unique coping methods such as voice-recorded mindfulness and relaxation exercises or simply enjoy relaxing music!
Need to find mental health help near you, especially in a crisis? Use the Map Locator to find the closest hospitals or other mental health treatment facilities. You can also find help through the therapist and support group links.
**Use the Emergency button to view options such as Call 911, Helpline, Counselor, and more.

The ReliefLink App was developed for the purpose of entry into the SAMHSA Suicide Prevention: Continuity of Care and Follow-Up Mobile App Challenge in August 2013. The app won 1st place in the contest in September 2013 and was presented at the White House.
*This is app is a supplemental tool to help the user manage his/her daily mental health, monitor suicidal feelings and thoughts, and offer options for seeking help. It should not be used in place of professional mental health or medical help.
**The ReliefLink team urges anyone having a medical emergency to call 911 immediately.

Ratings and Reviews
Really what I needed
Well to start off, I'm really surprised that I'm the only person that will have reviewed this app. However, I'm really looking forward to an update because there are so many ways it can be improved!!
1. The Twitter doesn't seem to be updated quite often. Also the interface can be a bit glitchy (keyboard not going away, etc.)
2. I love the help near you option! I also wish there could be a more advanced logging tool for moods as opposed to just my high and low moods and suicidal thoughts.
3. The option to choose a profile picture from my camera roll would also be nice.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this app develops because it's helped me a lot so far.
Great pocket app
Good app for having a safety plan in place. I think the design could be a bit better but overall purposeful and had a lot of opportunity to grow.
Thoughts from a mental health counselor
This app has amazing potential; however, I work mostly with teenagers and I’ve learned that teenagers do not like talking on the phone. I noticed when I first opened the app that it’s pretty difficult to navigate and the live chat option does not work for emergencies and that is essential for some.
