ROOM to grow

ROOM is a digital tool designed to support your personal development and wellbeing while at university. Monitor your wellbeing over time, and collect objects by doing short interactive exercises that allow you to reduce stress, boost your mood, and change the way that you approach problems.

The app includes a variety of activities that teach science-based techniques used by psychologists to help people build their wellbeing. The app is being researched and scientifically tested at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam.

Through the app, you can:

● Practice ways to deal with unhelpful thoughts or worries and handle emotions ● Train your self-compassion ● Increase positive emotions ● Filter out the noise and focus on things that matter to you ● Improve your mindfulness ● Learn practical breathing and relaxation techniques for optimal recovery ● Get to know yourself better through questionnaires, and get personalized recommendations

Spending a small portion of your time learning and using these techniques can help you better manage stress, build your resilience, reduce your perfectionism and keep you performing at your best!

The app contains short (3 - 10 minute) interactive and audio-guided exercises from CBT, ACT, Mindfulness, and Positive Psychology amongst other therapeutic approaches, making sure that there is something for someone.
