How we became thinkFull
TELUS, a Canadian Telecom provider, is committed to giving back to the community. A year ago it launched its first ever Social Enterprise competition to encourage entrepreneurial and community spirit amongst its team members. We were chosen to be part in this initiative and our passion is to drive change in the area of mental wellbeing.
Each of us at thinkFull has a personal story to share about difficult circumstances, life transitions, and the stress that accompanies it. As our reliance on smartphones grows, we believe that we can harness their utility to help others manage stress more effectively. In collaboration with a number of volunteers and supporters like Dr. Stan Kutcher, CMHA BC, Here to Help BC, mindyourmind, MJB Technologies and Kelty Resource Centre, we have been able to make this app available to you.
