App Profile: ROOM to grow

ROOM is a digital tool designed to support your personal development and wellbeing while at university. 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 or physicians 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

Get to know yourself better, and get personalizsed suggestions

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