[NYAPRS Enews] SuperBetter App/Site Promotes Personal Resilience

[Harvey Rosenthal]

ABOUT SUPERBETTER: https://www.superbetter.com/

SuperBetter is a tool created by game designers and backed by science to
help build personal resilience: the ability to stay strong, motivated
and optimistic even in the face of difficulty challenges. Resilience has
a powerful effect on health -- by boosting physical and emotional
well-being. Resilience also helps you achieve your life goals -- by
strengthening your social support and increasing your stamina, willpower
and focus. Every aspect of the game is designed to harness the power of
positive emotions and social connection for live, feel, and act better.

SuperBetter was created with guidance from doctors, psychologists,
scientists, and medical researchers. (Our advisors and collaborators
include MDs and PhDs at Stanford, UC Berkeley, University of
Pennsylvania, and Ohio State University Medical Research Center.)

emotional and social
*	Totally customizable - figure out what matters most to you, and
how to get more of it
*	Designed to help you through a tough time, or with a difficult
change
