WEconnect Health

The We Connect app is a user friendly mental health tool. The layout is clean and not overwhelming, which is a big deal when you’re already dealing with a lot. I can easily schedule one-on-one peer support appointments right in the app. The purpose of the app is clear: it’s a safe space to get support. They offer various groups throughout the day, so I can almost always find one that fits my schedule. They also provide a daily affirmation that is motivating and inspiring. One day I was really struggling and felt completely alone. I opened the app and found a live meeting starting in 10 minutes. Just joining that meeting and hearing others share their struggles turned my whole day around. Thats how powerful this is. I still have hard days, but now I have a place to go and people who understand. Highly recommend.

This is the best place I have ever been to for support for mental illnesses and addiction behaviors. The community here is one of the best support systems I’ve ever encountered and just because it’s online doesn’t make it less helpful. The people here are very real. They are positive and nonjudgmental. They give support in a way that is always caring and thoughtful. The peers are the same. The environment is one of harm reduction and doesn’t shun people that are using substances or over eating or still drinking, etc., whatever your addiction is. It’s a very uplifting and genuine space. For those with mental issues, everyone is understanding and kind and shows every sort of support. I would not ever think of leaving. When I miss a day of meetings for some reason, I feel a sense of loss and I quickly go find a meeting the very next day. The customer service team are excellent. Any time there is an issue with anything, they are on top of it right away. I hope WEconnect is here to stay! I don’t want to be without it!

I love the app and all the features. The meetings are a great alternative, or addition to, 12-step meetings and I love that there are a variety of topics covered. The incentive program is very generous and motivates me to stay connected and on top of my self care and other obligations. There are a few things I would like to see added. I wish it could be integrated with my phones calendar so that things I add in the app would show in my calendar and/or that things I add to my calendar could be pulled into the app with an option to add it to my daily routine. That way I’m not having to add appointments in two places. That gets redundant and I tend to start slacking when I feel that way. Either that or a widget for the WeConnect app that I could add to my Home Screen to see the items I need to complete in the day and could easily check them off. I’m not sure if that would be possible but it would make the app so much more accessible and easy to manage. I also wish the notifications were more specific. Instead of “your routine is about to start” I wish it would say, for example, “your individual counseling session is about to start”. When I get vague notifications that all say the same thing I tend to ignore them. Also, I don’t open the app every time I complete something and it is frustrating when I go on later in the day and am not able to check an item off because I’m not at home so the location is wrong. Those are just some suggestions I have but overall my experience has been good and I really enjoy using this app!
