Supporting both clients and professionals
Tuula Samulin, who has been involved in developing the app, uses it regularly both in her role as an expert by experience and as a client of health and social services.
“During appointments, I tell nearly all of my clients about the Recovery App. I use it to help them find information about things like their illness or financial challenges. Almost without exception, my clients have responded positively and shown interest in the app’s features. The section on third-sector services, in particular, has been very well received,” Tuula says.
“Personally, I use a lot of recovery tools in my own life and look for information on third-sector services, for example. The best part is that all the information is in one place – I don’t have to navigate the internet jungle to find it,” Tuula explains.
“I tell my clients how I’ve used the app myself and how it’s benefited me. My personal experience has naturally made it easier to introduce the app and its functions. The Recovery App is also a useful tool for professionals in their work,” she concludes.
