Helps you become more confident and comfortable in social situations. We do that by helping you find relevant challenges to confront social situations, and step by step increase your confidence.
A few weeks back, Rikke & Fabian came by my office to show me this thing they where working on: Steps. An app that, by completing small challenges, helps people overcome social anxiety. It's been absolutely heartwarming to see these two amazing people bring this little tool into the world. It is everything I love about tech; genuinely useful, approachable, humorous and good natured. Give them all the likes and shares you can on their launch day and together we can take the first step to help people overcome social anxiety ❤️
Thanks for the hunt @flarup! And hello everybody! We’re more than excited to be launching on PH today 🚀
Let’s introduce you to Steps.
Steps is an app helping you overcome social anxiety using exposure therapy.
Unfortunately social anxiety is a highly underrated mental health issue, too seldomly addressed in society leading to a lack of awareness. But also for the ones who are aware of their mental health issues, can be hard to get treatment.
Doing things you are afraid of to overcome fear, is a known therapy method called exposure therapy. And it’s proven to be the most efficient way to overcome social anxiety.
The app offers you a variety of challenges in curated sets, such creating friendships and handling rejection.
Steps is built with the vision to make mental health care accessible and help people overcome social anxiety.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and feedback,
we’ll be here to answer questions all day! 👋

@fabianehlert hey Fabian, awesome app and love the vision. Curious to see how you plan to promote the app to those who are suffering from severe social anxiety. Do you plan to have the app "prescribed" by mental health providers? Having previously worked with vets suffering from PTSD, it can be a huge challenge to take that first step to want to work on overcoming something as paralyzing as social anxiety.
@hienlam1 Hi, we know it's not easy to get through all the regulations in order to be able to actually prescribe the app. It's also not our main focus right now to make this happen but we still like to work closely with experts from the field to lower the entry hurdle and make it easier to get started.
