Time Machine is a Mental Health "app" that can be used to help self-guide oneself to better well-being, reduced physical symptoms of stress, and increased unconditional love for one's own past, future, and present self. This app can help reduce instances of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and self-doubt. Created by The Institute for Love and Time (TILT), Time Machine, their first-launched technology, was inspired by proven therapeutic methodologies not always accessible to under-resourced communities. For organizations seeking to improve the lives of those in marginalized communities and/or people impacted by poverty, trauma, abuse, addiction and incarceration, partnering with TILT to deliver the three supportive and transformative Time Machine tools within the communities you touch will amplify your impact by giving people access to scalable trauma recovery.
