Prioritizing your mental health can feel overwhelming—especially if traditional therapy isn’t affordable right now. At Brightn, we understand the need for accessible, effective support. That’s why we’ve introduced the Weekly Report feature and made several improvements to help you gain insights, celebrate wins, and discover meaningful opportunities for growth—all on your own terms.

Why This Matters

A Supportive Ally at Your Fingertips:
Brightn is designed to help you reflect, grow, and find balance, even if one-on-one therapy isn’t currently an option. Our Weekly Report summarizes your personal progress in a clear, understandable way—offering you the kind of structured reflection you might seek in a therapy session, but delivered affordably through an easy-to-use app.

No Previous Data Needed:
Starting this week, your Weekly Report provides a fresh start for monitoring your well-being. Over time, you’ll be able to track patterns and learn which habits, routines, or journaling prompts help you feel more centered.

Inside Your Weekly Report

Title & Description
At the top, you’ll find a clear title and brief description, grounding you in what this report covers so you can approach it with confidence and understanding.

Insights
Just as a therapist might highlight recurring themes in your sessions, Brightn identifies key takeaways from your recent activity. Maybe you’ve been feeling more stressed around certain times of day or noticing subtle improvements in mood after practicing relaxation techniques.

Highlighted Wins
Every step forward is worth celebrating. Did you journal more consistently last week? Maybe you took a few mindful breaks during a hectic day. These wins matter, and seeing them recognized can help reinforce positive habits and build your self-esteem.

Suggested Opportunities
We also provide next steps you can try—simple recommendations to improve your emotional well-being. Think of these as gentle prompts a supportive mentor might offer, guiding you toward healthier habits without the financial commitment of traditional therapy.

Active & Previous Week Scenarios
As weeks go by, you’ll start to see patterns. Are certain stressors consistently affecting your mood? Did last week’s relaxation practices have a positive impact this week? By comparing one week to the next, you’re equipped to make informed decisions about what helps you feel better.

Shareable
If you have a trusted friend or family member who’s part of your support system, you can easily share your Weekly Report. Sometimes just talking through what you’re experiencing can bring clarity and encouragement.

Added Improvements for an Even Better Experience

Enhanced Amplitude Metrics
We’ve improved how we track and understand user engagement. Over time, this lets us tailor Brightn’s guidance even more closely to what works best for you, making your self-care journey feel more personalized and effective.

Onboarding Mood Check
Upon joining Brightn, we’ll now get a better sense of how you’re feeling right from the start. This helps us provide relevant suggestions right away, so you feel seen and supported from day one—no lengthy sessions or hefty bills required.

Brightn Zone & Journal Page UI Upgrades
We’ve refined our user interface to make journaling and exploring the Brightn Zone simpler and more intuitive. A smoother experience makes it easier to build these self-care practices into your routine, much like the consistency you might strive for with therapy exercises.

Clearer Subscription Messaging
We’ve updated text around certain subscription options to ensure you understand exactly what you’re getting—no hidden fees, no confusion. Accessibility and transparency are key to making self-improvement financially manageable.

Your Path to Affordable Support

At Brightn, we know that mental health support doesn’t have to break the bank. The new Weekly Report and our ongoing enhancements are here to help you understand your emotions, track your progress, and foster healthier habits—affordably and at your own pace.

If you’re feeling stuck or isolated, let Brightn be your ally. Check in with your Weekly Report, embrace your wins, explore new opportunities for growth, and share your progress with the people who care about you. This is all part of building a more resilient, self-aware you.
