Over 60% of Sanvello self-care users feel better in 30 days, as self-reported by users’ weekly assessments that measure levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Common reactions to COVID-19 include stress and anxiety, as well as loneliness.

  • Peer Support: We’re all in this together. Users can join group conversations to share personal stories and chat with others who often feel just like them. A new Staying Socially Connected community offers connection and support as COVID-19 shifts our daily routines.
  • Coping Tools: People can find useful techniques to calm their mind, change their outlook, redirect negative thoughts and improve daily activities and sleep.
  • Mindfulness Meditation: Learn how to “pay attention with purpose” and find focus during a time of uncertainty, with a library of guided audio meditations.
  • Daily Mood Tracking: Users can track their emotions, add notes about why, and spot patterns that help them feel more calm and in control.
