Enabling 24/7 wellness care, Lyftly Minds features community, sharing, expert coaching, and holistic care

Lyftly India launched today a powerful and groundbreaking mobile solution, Lyftly Minds – available both on iOS and Android – dedicated to youth and millennials’ mental wellness care. Intended to enable users to achieve and sustain holistic mental and emotional wellness, the app offers unique personalization features, a safe supportive community, and one-on-one mental, emotional, and life coaching services.

Lyftly Minds has a single priority: to enable India’s youth and millennials to take control of their wellbeing through the most important contributor – their mental and emotional health.

“Life can be very stressful, especially in this challenging, unstable, and often disconcerting world, especially in light of Covid-19,” said Dr. Ram Ramanujam, CEO of Lyftly. “If you feel lonely or overly stressed or feel unproductive, you no longer have to go at it alone. Lyftly offers effective programs, solutions, and live guidance through trained coaches. This is the all-in-one tool to help you on the journey towards wellness and performance.”

To better comprehend the edge that Lyflty Minds brings, here is a quick run-through of the self-enabling tools in the app. The World Health Organization’s WHO 5 questionnaire helps track your wellness. There are emoji-based feeling checks and a community of like-minded individuals with whom you can share your perspectives. A well-calibrated system of setting realistic goals along with data feedback ensures a growth-minded approach – All of which go into achieving wellness and continuing to stay well.

At Lyftly Minds, we understand young people’s scarcity of time, need for privacy, affordability, and ease of use. This is why our services and in-app features are designed to keep safety, anonymity, confidentiality, and inclusion in mind. Along with the freely available 24*7 access to self-enabled wellness, we offer text/chat-based affirmative coaching sessions at nominal rates. This service gives the user a confidential space to reach out to professionally qualified psychologists trained in the Lyftly way of working. The coaches encourage and empower the user to draw on existing strengths, while also facilitating strategy building to manage the challenges they are experiencing. The user’s ability to build wellness skills is encouraged. Features like linking to Spotify music and private journaling are built into the app as well.

According to Sangita Unni, the Director of Lyftly India “while conversations about mental health in India are mostly about illnesses such as anxiety disorders and depression, at Lyftly we are focused on wellness at a holistic level. Our platform offers self-enabling preventive care for wellness while we also use the tenets of positive psychology and solution-focused support, to coach our users through their challenges.”

Lyftly Minds, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lyftly Inc (USA) was started by two Silicon Valley veterans and a Stanford U professor.  The platform’s underlying methodology was developed in coordination with the latest studies at Harvard, Penn, Michigan, Northwestern, and Stanford. With this research-based foundation and science-driven orientation, Lyflty Minds aims at creating an India where the young adults of tomorrow will be happier, healthier, and have more opportunities to be the best version of themselves while they perform at their peak.
