SameHere Scale

Connect with anyone who is in your phone: friends, children, parents, extended family members, doctors, patients, teachers, students, coworkers, managers, and more, using this #SameHere Scale App. You are easily able to both request and share how you are doing with anyone you choose, using the same language on this “Scale” - daily, weekly, monthly, and engage in private, secured chats related to those responses. You can even choose to record and comment or journal about your own scale responses, so that you may notice
your own trends over time. As you discover what actions/behaviours/exercises/therapies move you further to the left, towards "Thriving" more consistently on the Scale, you can stick with those routines, and help others you are connected with, do the same!

We give individuals all over the world the opportunity to break down the barriers of communication by providing a simple but effective tool and communication platform, that fosters important discussions. Without these tools, when we ask each other, how we are doing, between two people in any relationship, we get answers like: “OK” or “Fine.” This gets us nowhere. The #SameHere Scale and the app are designed to help you to open up (to yourself and/or others) to foster communication, and track response trends, over time. Never before have we had a tool to track the changes in our states of mind and tie them back to our experiences, the sensations we feel in our brains/bodies, and our mental health routines, right from the palm of our hands.



#SameHere is a Global Mental Health Movement that works with everyone from schools to offices to military and professional sports teams, to normalize the conversation around mental health and social and emotional learning, and make them part of our everyday conversations.


With the #SameHere Scale, we have worked with behavioral health professionals, graphic designers, and world-renowned psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and social workers to create an easy to understand (mental health continuum, or) “Scale” that puts everyone you interact with on the same page with respect to common language that can be used to express how you are doing, and how those answers may change over time.


[Key Features]
