MOBILE APP HELPS FAMILIES WITH MILITARY LIFE

The Department of Defense has a new smartphone mobile applica-

tion to help service members and their families manage the chal-

lenges of military life. LifeArmor has seventeen behavioral topics with

information, assessments, videos with personal stories and interactive

exercises to develop coping skills. LifeArmor can be downloaded for

free at the App Store, Google Play and on the Amazon Market-

place. LifeArmor is a comprehensive learning and self-management

tool to assist members of the military community with common men-

tal health concerns. It was developed by psychologists at the De-

fense Department's National Center for Technology and Technology,

known as T2, as a companion application to their AfterDeployment

website. The new mobile application brings behavioral health topics

from the website to smartphones and tablets, used by most service

members. AfterDeployment was launched in 2008 to help service

members returning from combat deployments. LifeArmor's behav-

ioral topics are: Alcohol & Drugs, Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Families

& Friendships, Families with Kids, Life Stress, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury,

Military Sexual Trauma, Physical Injury, Post-Traumatic Stress, Resil-

ience, Sleep, Spirituality, Stigma, Tobacco, and Work Adjustment.

More information about T2 is available at www.t2health.org. Further
