High Res

High Res has been developed by the Australian Department of Veterans’ Affairs. It will assist serving and ex-serving Australian Defence Force personnel manage immediate responses to stress and help build resilience.

The app offers a range of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools, based on the Department of Defence’s BattleSMART program. This includes progressive muscle relaxation, challenging thoughts and healthy sleep.

You can use these tools to ‘test’ and ‘adjust’ your physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural reactions to stress. This would be particularly helpful for managing the daily stresses of service life, deployment, transition to civilian life and life post-service.

You can also use the tools as part of performance training. Through regular use of the tools, you can ‘optimise’ your performance and build your resilience to stress. The app helps you test your resilience by taking a resilience survey, set performance goals and keep track of your progress over time.
