AIMhi Stay Strong
This app is designed to be used by service providers and clients in a client session. It is available in iOS and Android versions and facilitates discussion about:
Friends and family who help keep clients strong and healthy
Personal strengths relating to spiritual and cultural, physical, family, social and work, and mental and emotional aspects of clients’ lives – represented visually as leaves on a tree
Aspects of clients’ lives that take away their strength in the same four areas
Setting client-driven goals for change to work on
Plans for achieving their goals and steps towards goals
It includes screening based on K5 and K10 scales and help-seeking prompts for people who score high levels of psychological distress.
A youth version of the AIMhi app, AIMhi-y, is under development but not yet available for download. It is funded by Northern Territory PHN as part of the National Suicide Prevention Trial.
