Self-help Anxiety Management
SAM has been developed by a university team of psychologists, computer scientists and student users. Established methods of self-help have been combined with high standards of usability to provide an engaging, flexible, and practical resource.
The key features of SAM are:
• Clearly laid out menus
• User guidance
• External links
• Self-monitoring of anxiety with graphical display
• 25 self-help options covering: Information about anxiety, Thinking and anxiety, Physical relaxation, Mental relaxation, Health and Anxiety
• Guidance on putting self-help into practice
• Closed social network of SAM users
The content of SAM is presented in various media formats in order to support users in learning about anxiety and practicing self-help. Although not text-heavy, users will need to study the guidance to get the best out of SAM. Users are encouraged to build their own Anxiety Toolkit of SAM resources that they find helpful and to draw on this for regular practice in managing situations that are associated with anxiety.
SAM may be used with or without the support of a registered health practitioner but you may wish to consult with your local health or well-being practitioner if you are uncertain about using SAM.

Tried using this app again since my last review hoping that it was my WiFi messing up or the app was having a bad day, nope. When I try to create an account for the forums it won't let me. Keeps on saying 'check your connection'. Can't make an account or login. Hopeless.
Great app. Has helped me through alot of tough situations. Although, i dont have any option to look at the replies on social cloud so i would like to know how so that i can know what other people have to say.
Nice app and very helpful , But chat cloud needs an option added to notify us when a user responds to our posts and also a private PM section for those who wish to contact each other , Please can this be added asap it would be most helpful.
I love this app! It has wonderful tools to use when dealing with anxiety. Would highly recommend!
I love this app but I would also like it if there was a way to friend people so you can talk to them privately.
Me- I'm having terrible anxiety and feel sick to my stomach when thinking about the future. Sam app- try breathing or look at this picture of a leaf. Absolute garbage as expected.
has no strategies you have to write everyone down also crashes all the time. very bad app
This is not help my anxiety which comes on for no reason . I need helpful activities no suggestions. Not helpful.
The app has really helped one critism though is its a little patronising it makes me feel as though i am crazy
Can't log in, developer email rejects all emails.
It doesn't get too much information about anxiety
brilliant free app lots of tools
It's an okay app I just don't really understand how to use it well.
great app used it a lot
you guys should make it capable to see other peoples post.
I like this app for it's social feature. Chatting to others is nice and helpful. I wish you could have a thread or pm though as it's hard to find the post you commented on to follow up. Also it's stoped working for me today so I can't use it but I'm hoping it's a temporary issue. I don't find the other parts of the app very useful but I love the forum!
I like the breathing techniques and the pic game at first I was like lame but it actually worked. Well do e will use agin
It's not not engaging at all. The icons are too similar to one another. It's difficult to get to its tools.
I have a very serious, and very real anxiety disorder. For so long I felt trapped and alone, but now I can finally smell the roses lol
This app is amazing, so simple but so helpful in times of a crisis. The various tools have something for everyone and I 100% recommend this for anyone with anxiety or panic disorder
This app is so helpful. It makes me feel like I have a friend in my pocket
Best to set up and explore when you're in a good space, but definitely great app. Layout is clean and organized, so easy to navigate when stressed. Lots of options and variety of tools so there's something for everyone. It's empowering and gives you skills, not just a Bandaid.
I find the social bit quite triggering but it does have some great information.
I just downloaded it and used it 15 mins ago. I already feel calmer.
I have had great success with this app and would highly recommend it.
Not good. App is designed for less than android 10. Error "this was made for older version". Tried to contact by email. Email was auto-returned
