In conjunction with Families OverComing Under Stress (FOCUS), the UCLA Nathanson Family Resilience Center is pleased to announce the release of an all new mobile app for Military and Veteran families. FOCUS On the Go! is a family gaming and resource app for iPhone and iPad designed to engage children and families in learning and practicing key resilience skills.
FOCUS On the Go! is a first-of-its-kind, family-centered mobile application for enhancing family resilience.
The mobile app is a fun and engaging tool for busy Military and Veteran families and their children. Children, adolescents and parents can play four games alongside the app’s cartoon character, Buddy Bear, to practice identifying and talking about feelings and to collect tools for calming down in challenging situations.
FOCUS On the Go! also includes a parents page with a video library and downloadable activities to further practice family resilience skills. Parents can also complete family resilience check-ins for personalized summaries of their family’s strengths.
