Find an App
Two ways to find a mental health app worth using: a full, professionally-reviewed library with hundreds of options, or a short list of specific apps worth knowing about right now.
NL Mental Health and Addictions App Library
NL Health Services runs a full, clinically-reviewed app library — the first of its kind in Canada — covering hundreds of mental health and substance use apps, each independently assessed for quality, safety, and clinical evidence before being listed. This is the real, comprehensive answer if you want to browse everything available, not just the handful below.

A short starting point if you don't want to browse the full library yet. All five are well-established, and three are free, Canadian-made or Canadian-government-run.
MindShift CBT
Anxiety Canada
A made-in-Canada CBT app for anxiety — thought journals, fear ladders, and guided exercises built on the same approach used in walk-in counselling.
PTSD Coach Canada
Veterans Affairs Canada
Education and self-management tools for PTSD symptoms, built with the Canadian Mental Health Association. Useful alongside, not instead of, professional care.
Kids Help Phone
Kids Help Phone
The same 24/7 counselling and crisis text line listed under Get Help Now, in app form — text, chat, or call directly from your phone.
Headspace

Widely-used guided meditation and sleep app. A limited library is free; full access requires a subscription.

These are independent third-party apps, not run by NLMH. Each has its own privacy policy and terms — worth a glance before signing up, the same as any app.
