Challenges Before Brain in Hand
Sarah, an autistic adult with mental health challenges and dyslexia, was juggling two part-time jobs, volunteering, and family life when she began using Brain in Hand. Before then, she often struggled with work-related stress, remembering daily tasks, managing unpredictable situations, and recognising when her wellbeing was starting to dip. After a period of mental health leave, she needed a way to stay stable, organised, and confident - both at work and at home.
How Brain in Hand helped
Brain in Hand quickly became part of her everyday routine. Using features like regular check-ins, reminders, mood tracking, and the unplanned events feature. Sarah built more structure into her days using the diary and reminder feature to help her structure her busy days and avoid unnecessary stress. The check-in feature has also helped spot early signs of overwhelm, avoid further mental-health-related absences, and feel more in control of her wellbeing. It has also supported her social confidence, enabling her to attend activities independently and feel safer when out on her own.
The results
This shift in stability and self-awareness has strengthened every area of Sarah’s life. She hasn’t needed to return to therapy since using Brain in Hand consistently, and she now navigates daily life with more steadiness and clarity. She feels more confident in her roles and contributes actively to workplace inclusion. At home, her visible self-management has opened up conversations with her son about emotional awareness. Brain in Hand has given Sarah the tools to stay grounded, independent, and empowered - helping her build not only practical life skills but also long-term mental health resilience.
