How Mental Health Chatbots Are Helping Users Help Themselves

Last December, Jesse Taylor was worried that the stress of his job and being a stay-at-home dad for his infant son was taking its toll. Taylor, 36, lives in Winnipeg and works as an operations manager for an online business. He felt overwhelmed by his responsibilities and distracted by the sleep deprivation that often comes with caring for a young child. And then his wife suggested that Taylor try one of Thriveport's mental health apps. "She suggested I give it a go to get out of those negative talk tracks I had gotten into from lack of sleep," he says.
