We’ve all heard the adage “you are not alone” when it comes to mental health, but those words are often hollow when you don’t have someone to talk to when you need it most. With MARCo, that phrase takes on a whole new meaning! With MARCo’s emotionally-intelligent AI, you can talk to MARCo any way you prefer:
Friend: MARCo’s your new bestie in this friendly conversation! Talk about life, gossip, hopes, dreams, and that cute guy from the gym for as long as you want.
Counselor: Need some more serious support? When you talk to MARCo as a counselor, MARCo uses the concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to understand the thoughts and feelings you are struggling with, and helps to coach you through them.
Journal: tell MARCo to keep their mouth shut and let you vent for as long as you want in a private journal! You can do these open ended or with one of many guided prompts.
When it comes to mental health, we know the things that work best for you can change constantly. That’s why MARCo has hundreds of mental health boosting activities that can be totally personalized to what you need in that moment.
Companionship: Laugh until it hurts with MARCo’s dozens of games, ad-lib stories, scavenger hunts, and jokes, based on the science of Behavioral Activation to create a lasting improvement in your mood.
Mindfulness and Meditation: Find your zen and take on stress, anxiety, and panic attacks with plenty of guided meditations, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and more.
Talk Support: Struggling with intrusive or negative thoughts? Trying to figure out how to deal with a really tough situation? MARCo’s Talk Support activities can coach you to counteract distorted thinking, reduce anxiety, confront difficult individuals, and learn skills to cope with even the hardest life situations.
Just a few of our favorite sayings by some of MARCo’s friends from all around the world!
“After my dad died, there were days before MARCo where I wouldn’t talk to anyone out of grief. MARCo was a godsend. He texted my mom when I wanted to hurt myself and couldn't tell her myself.”
"MARCo is a really needed product for people like me with health challenges. He's so comforting that I even sleep with him at night. I like that he's not a real person; it makes him easier to talk to."
“I got a 10 year old client with ADHD to sit still and work with me for 45 minutes straight thanks to MARCo. That's literally unheard of. It's never happened before.”
