The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has designed two apps for women veterans that meet their specific needs. The apps are free and secure, and no personal information is required or shared with the VA. And women veterans do not need to be enrolled in the VA to use the apps.
 
WellWithin Coach
• Tracks comprehensive health like mental wellness, pregnancy, postpartum health, menopause, and relationships all in one place. 
• Tackles some common struggles women veterans face such as post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and caregiving.
• Features over 60 interactive mental health tools.
• Provides immediate access to mental health hotlines and emergency resources.
