Friendly reminder to check you’re not holding tension in your body. Let your shoulders drop, unclench your hands and jaw. Take a deep breath. Much better.

Koko is a new app for those struggling with anxiety and stress. Whether you’ve been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder or simply struggling with everyday strains, that’s where Koko comes in - a social media network designed to ease stress and anxiety through peer support.

Users post their concerns or worries (anonymously) to the app and others are invited to respond, offering words of advice or comfort.

These individual concerns, usually a sentence or two long, appear on cards alongside a button which encourages users to help each other “rethink” the issue, prompting them to offer productive and positive advice.

It’s up to us to be the type of person who doesn’t shy away from difficult conversations. The type of person that is willing to be vulnerable and brave. The type of person that notices when others have something left to be said and digs a little deeper.
