Problem: Apps in Application
Using your preferred Internet search engine, gather information on apps for smartphones or tablets that can be used for social work profession-related interventions.
Take the Meditation Jar app as an example. This app mirrors a mind jar, which is made from a jar, water, and glitter, similar to a snow globe. The mind jar is a therapeutic tool used with children. Children learn from their therapist to focus on and follow one speck of glitter as it travels slowly to the bottom of the jar. This exercise is coupled with breathing exercises to help children calm their bodies and minds.
