Lantern is a mobile program designed by Stanford researchers and draws from over 10 years of research on technological applications for improving emotional well being. Lantern’s evidence-based program helps individuals strengthen overall resilience and develop effective coping strategies through quick daily exercises with professional coaching.
Lantern creates a personalized program based on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction to help each individual work on areas that matter most to them. The program includes core conceptual areas from evidence-based approaches such as education about how thoughts, emotions and behaviors are interrelated, relaxation training, how to become aware of and change thoughts, behavior change, mindfulness, and habit formation. Participants tend to access their program 2+ times per week for approximately 10-15 minutes to track mood and behaviors, learn, and practice techniques. Participants typically complete the first phase of their program within 2-4 months, followed by a maintenance program of 1-2 sessions per week for up to a year after program start. The program makes use of tools, practice and information, and helps participants track their progress toward individually selected goals.
