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 &quot;five dimensions of mental health,&quot; 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 &quot;coaches,&quot; 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"/>
