The popular health and wellbeing app Equipt is now available for download on Police iPhones through the New Zealand Police App Store.
Developed for current and former Police staff and families, the free Equipt app is designed to help boost your mood, mind and physical and social wellbeing.
It was developed in Australia by the Victoria Police Association and Victoria Police with input from members and the Phoenix Australia Centre for Post-Traumatic Mental Health.
The New Zealand version has been customised by the New Zealand Police Association and New Zealand Police for use here and features a range of tools to manage your wellbeing, including controlling stress, sleep issues and putting you in touch with support if you need it.
HOW TO ACCESS THE EQUIPT APP
Police phones – download from the New Zealand Police App Store
Personal phones – download from Google Play for Android phones or the App Store for iPhones
