"Recovery4US" provides hope inspiring activities for a community of people who are on the road to mental health recovery.

Comments from app users, during its development and research phase include comments such as:

“It was helpful just to have a hopeful message to look at in the morning. It certainly helps to start your day off with something positive.”

“I liked using it a lot. I felt it was empowering to be able to talk about aspects of my recovery.”

“I spent about ten days in the hospital doing chemo. I opened the app. The message for the day was just like it told me something. And I didn’t get scared. It really helped.”
