What is the S.T.A.R app tracking about me?

The S.T.A.R. Support app is 100% anonymous and confidential, and we do not sell any anonymous data. The app does not track location, IP address nor ask for emails, telephone numbers, birthdates, or names. No personal information/assessment answers are traceable back to any user. Codes given by an organization can not be associated with a real person. The app stores assessment scores and content to access timestamps against an anonymous user ID and knows the history of the anonymous user ID but can not associate any data with a real person. For more information, please visit our Privacy Policy

Do I have to log on with a code if I am part of an organization and if I use the code is it still anonymous?

Users log in anonymously even with a code provided to a user by an organization which is used solely to utilize specific help resources within the S.T.A.R. app and help understand the overall work-life balance within an organization.

Is there a cost for the S.T.A.R. app?

There is no cost to an individual. It is free to download from the Apple app store and Google Play store.

Has the methodology in the S.T.A.R. Mental Health Support app been researched?

Clinically tested methods and backed by research from the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Kenneth Yeager developed the methods used in the S.T.A.R. app, a Ph.D., L.I.S.W. at The Ohio State University. The research and testing found that the S.T.A.R. training method for vicarious trauma led to a decrease in burnout measures sustained for several months. The S.T.A.R. app uses a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and cognitive processing therapy techniques. These approaches help to address common effects of exposure to trauma; these include but are not limited to hyper-vigilance avoidance, trust, control, and intimacy (sharing and processing exposure to a trauma with others). As the stress responses progress, individuals become at greater risk of depression, anxiety, substance misuse, sleep disturbance, and unexplained anger, to name a few. The app provides an effective way to begin to understand how to manage your response to stress and trauma.

Is my fitness data in OptimumU tied to the S.T.A.R. app?

No. The two apps are entirely different and are completely separate. The OptimumU Health Coaching app is provided to help those looking for an opportunity to increase their physical health together with their mental health. We believe the two go together. - it is hard to be healthy in one without the other.
