10 Health Apps for Mental Health Problems (Course10-EN)
Health Apps for Mental Health Problems 
This online module is addressed to trainees.
Objectives
The main objective of this module is to raise awareness of what mental health is and the impact it has on the daily lives of migrants. Mental health is understood as a "state of emotional well-being that enables people to cope with stressful life events, to develop their full capacities, to be able to learn and work well, and to contribute to the betterment of their community" (WHO, 2022). An important aspect of mental health is differentiating between the types of emotions that people face in their daily lives and knowing how to manage them. Emotional intelligence brings together affective and cognitive processes to improve adaptation to different situations and conflict resolution. People who do not have good emotional intelligence have difficulty in managing emotions, causing pathologies and mental health problems, the most common of which are anxiety, depression and stress (Delhom et al., 2023).
During this module, a series of applications will be presented that will guide users towards understanding their emotions and the implications for mental health, and participants will also be taught how to use mental health applications through case studies and activities. The aim is to prevent potential mental health problems and, above all, to improve self-management of health.
