Spotlight: Heroes Health Initiative

Cooper has recently launched the Heroes Health Initiative (HHI). This app, developed by and being researched in conjunction with UNC School of Medicine & UNC Health, was created to help support the mental health of first responders and health care workers during the COVID-19 global pandemic. The app is available through the App Store and Google Play Store in the United States, free of charge to first responders, health care workers, and their organizations. For individual health care workers, the Heroes Health app delivers short mental health self-assessments each week and displays symptom summary reports to help them better understand the state of their own mental health and changes over time. The app also provides links to immediate support and mental health resources, emphasizing free and low-cost services.
