How is your mind doing? 🧠Share your voice to raise awareness ❤️https://my-aya.typeform.com/to/rHU4f1o1

Elphas - how is your mind doing? I work for Aya, a new mental health startup for women and as we're going into another month of WFH and social isolation, I'm leading research into how the pandemic has impacted specifically *working women* with past or current mental health conditions. Although there has been a lot of research conducted on the general population, we think there is not enough awareness about the challenges caused by lack of support, loneliness and overloaded therapy services for women who were already at risk. If you have been affected - please share your experience anonymously by Sunday 29th November: https://my-aya.typeform.com/to/rHU4f1o1I will be publishing a report with findings back into the community so we can catalyse conversations about support networks that could be created. We will also be sharing them with mental health organizations and NGOs so we can raise general awareness around this issue. Stay safe and remember to take extra care of yourself and your needs in this time <3
Love the mission, Sandra! Mental health is so important and COVID definitely makes it feel like it needs to be put on the back burner sometimes. Looking forward to the published results!
Thank you for words of support, Hannah! This is also totally optional but if you'd like to participate in our beta for Aya, I am recruiting the last batch of women this week and you can simply apply here: https://my-aya.typeform.com/to/t3bZaYGf (I am happy to skip the waitlist for all Elphas because this is exactly the community we'd like to co-create Aya with :) The current experience we're building is a 5-day Program that focuses on assessing your core emotional needs (security, control, emotional intimacy, competency, meaning and purpose) via guided journaling with Aya. We're trying Aya to be like a blend between a friend/ therapist and focus on helping users nurture their inner resources (e.g. self-reflection) as tools for managing one's own wellbeing.
Hi Sandra, I'm in! I love the focus on inner resources because it really sets the tone that we have much more power within ourselves than we realize. Looking forward to learning more!
Thank you Hannah! Let me send you an email with details about starting Aya's 5-Day Guided Reflection program :)
