Mental Health tools

These tools are designed to support your mental health by reducing stress and overwhelm

Technology available to support your mental health

If you are experiencing mental health challenges, or finding it difficult to focus, manage workload, or feel overwhelmed, there are a range of tools available to support you.

These tools can help create a calmer working environment, reduce distractions, and make it easier to stay organised and in control of your tasks.

Below is an overview of the different types of support available, and what they can help with:

  • Focus features (such as Quiet Time or Do Not Disturb) help reduce interruptions so you can concentrate without distraction
  • Focus Assist allows you to block notifications and choose when you want to be alerted
  • Simplified display settings (such as reduced animations or cleaner layouts) can create a calmer, less overwhelming screen experience
  • Screen readers can help some people focus by turning written content into audio, reducing visual overload
  • Task and planning tools (like Planner or To Do lists) help you keep track of work, break tasks into steps, and avoid things being missed
  • Calendar blocking allows you to schedule dedicated focus time and protect space in your day
  • Wellbeing tools (such as Viva Insights) can help you reflect on your work patterns, build better habits, and manage your time more effectively

Tip: Creating a simple daily focus plan can help reduce stress and improve productivity. When you are interrupted, it can take time to get back into the flow of a task — so setting aside dedicated focus time can help you stay on track and feel more in control.

These tools can support people experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, or overwhelm, as well as anyone who wants to create a more manageable and balanced way of working.
