A key component of a healthy lifestyle is a healthy mind! ThriveOn is a mobile and web app offering personalized health programs created by mental health experts. Users answer an assessment that covers the "five dimensions of mental health," or mood, stress and anxiety, social life, sleep and activity, and eating and drinking. Once the assessment is complete, ThriveOn's mental health professionals, or "coaches," devise personalized daily sessions, with each session combining reading, mood and behavior tracking, interactive exercises and weekly feedback from the user's ThriveOn coach.</p><br clear="all"/>
