Sharpen offers two primary services: a prevention platform and a digital therapeutic. The prevention platform, called "Sharpen," includes mental health training modules, resources, and exercises to build community resilience. It serves as the foundation for your organization's customized mental health app. The digital therapeutic, Sharpen DTX, enhances mental healthcare efficiency, builds resilience, and assists health providers and organizations in serving patients on psychiatric care waitlists more effectively.
Sharpen benefits individuals ages 10 and up who are interested in honing their mental wellness and resiliency skills. This can include those experiencing mental health challenges, along with their family members. Sharpen has also shown to support under-resourced counselors, health workers and organizations who need to extend mental health and stress management services to a broader community.

Sharpen offers a prevention platform with modular content vetted through extensive research. Your organization provides information about your community's needs, and we swiftly develop your customized toolkit. We also assist you in marketing and deploying the service to your audience.
We can have your app available within three business days. However, Sharpen is more than just an app. You’ll probably want to spend a little more time developing your engagement and community strategies. And we’re there to help you.
The Sharpen core library includes a variety of subjects such as emotional wellness, coping skills, healthy relationships, stress management, and education on various mental health topics. It also features evidence-based dietetics models and a vast library of premium content tailored to specific users like veterans with PTSD, front-line medical staff, medical students, foster parents, youth, young adults, and more.
Sharpen’s core service includes an extensive library of content. However, you can customize this content, localize links to service providers and community connections, build groups and social networks, create your own content, and manage multiple organizations. We work with you to develop your plan.
Many organizations have developed their own mental wellness toolkits from the Sharpen platform. Here are three examples:
1. SC Department of Social Services customized a toolkit specific to foster parent resilience. Within that toolkit, foster parents are able to learn all about mental health, not only for themselves, but for their children.
2. Suicide prevention organizations like the TX Engage & Heal Foundation have customized the Sharpen toolkit to enable youth, young adults, parents and educators to explore an array of mental wellness topics.
3. Medical schools, such as VCOM, have customized Sharpen to empower medical students with mental wellness / mental health literacy training programs.
