You don't have to be in a crisis to benefit from oscER
It is good to educate the whole family beforehand on different types of mental illnesses, warning signs of suicide, common signs of relapse, what happens when you call 911, getting a correct diagnosis, and so much more...and it is all within a key tap or finger swipe.
Prevention and intervention tools are key to avoiding a mental health emergency, or to help deescalate a tense situation. You will find soothing music and soundscapes in the oscER app to aid you in attaining rest and relaxation whenever you need it. Choose from a continuous loop of these sounds:
-Rain Forest
-Flute Music
-Ocean Surf
-Song Birds
Let oscER be there for you during a time of need!
Some privacy please
Sometimes mental illness is a sensitive subject to talk or think about. The oscER app lets you peruse mental health information in the privacy of your own time and in your own way. With the resources it offers, you will feel less alone and more connected to the world of information and support available in San Diego.
NAMI San Diego makes it happen
