Why real estate needs the Real Care app

By encouraging the adoption of the RealCare app in your agency, you will be a champion of wellbeing for all your colleagues.

The Rise Initiative is the mental health charity for the real estate industry. Our mission is to provide the education to support better conversations about mental wellness, make the connection between good mental health and high performance, and provide the tools to build resilience and support.

One of our most important projects is the creation of the award-winning Real Care app. It’s a wellness coach on your phone that every member of your team can use – for free.

As a leader in the real estate industry, you have the opportunity to join with Rise and be a champion for wellbeing. To do this, we encourage you to become a “power user” of the Real Care app, and to lead its adoptions across your organisation and within individual teams.

The app has already become an essential tool for several thousand real estate colleagues coping with stress, building greater resilience and seeking help at times of overwhelm.

We’ve got your back

The Real Care app is a collaboration between the real estate industry and mental health experts to help you understand the connection between your physical and mental state.

It provides activities to get you out of your head and reconnect to your body, and the people and things you love.

And for times when you or a colleague are struggling to cope, Real Care offers three phone counselling sessions to help you get back on track.

The sessions are free and conducted by Assure counsellors thanks to the sponsorship of Domain. Just call 1800 808 374. Tell them you’ve been referred by Domain.

You might not need the assistance of a counsellor or even the Real Care app today, but it’s great to know The Rise Initiative has got your back.

Real Care is there when you need it.

Here are some of the benefits of using the Real Care app tools:

• Relief in minutes from overwhelming emotions, stress and tension.

• Better skills in managing anger and big feelings so they don’t spiral out of control.

• An improved ability to notice your reactions and emotions so you can manage and respond to them differently.

• Better understanding about how your physical, mental and emotional health work together to affect how you perform and feel.

• Frameworks and language so you can better connect with friends and family about what’s going on in your head and heart – without it getting weird!

• The ability to restore your sense of control by building the skills to acknowledge rather than deny your feelings.

• Exercises and performance tools to connect your head with your heart so your success feels real and grounded.

The RealCare App can be a key component of your broader workplace wellness and mental health strategy.

By offering access to professional support through the app, you can complement other initiatives aimed at promoting employee wellbeing within your own organisation.

Sharing information about the app’s benefits and user-friendly features can aid in adoption.

The fact that 78% of users have been active within the last 30 days, and 55% of users return, suggests those who use the app find it beneficial.
