Winner of Vodafone’s App Aid competition, The Check-In app was designed by beyondblue and Two Bulls in consultation with young people to help take the fear out of having a conversation with a friend who might be struggling. This colourful and easy to navigate app provides the building blocks around how to approach a friend in need of help, and gives users a confidence boost to know what to do to offer support by: • Helping users to build a conversation plan - where to have the conversation, what to ask, and more. • Enabling users to rate the conversation and get advice on next steps for helping a friend & looking after their own mental health. • Providing links to a range of online and phone services. • Providing tips and advice from young people who have been through these conversations with friends.
