Well, we are really excited about this. Brandon started the Feeling Great Book Club, yay, many years ago. And then I had the privilege of joining him as the co-leader a few years ago. And that's been really powerful. You know, I... It's great for people to it's accountability to do it and they form connections and they can ask questions.

And then the small groups, which we now have facilitated by volunteers, people really gel. And there's even been some groups that have continued to meet after the book club was over. And so, yeah, we're thrilled that the app is out now because I think it'll be the perfect companion to the app. And I'll turn it over to Brandon.

Right.

Right.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Right. Well, thank you for commenting on accessibility. We do really want it to be accessible. And so we have a sliding scale that will it's it's it's the cost is twelve dollars per session. So for the eight sessions, but we'll lower that to whatever level people need. And then, David, you have also generously offered to make the app available to anyone who needs to needs that.

I'm so glad you asked. So Brandon and I actually, this is another one of Brandon's brilliant ideas is to teach the five secrets in a small group setting. So whereas I think the depression and anxiety tools can work well taught in a larger group setting to learn the five secrets, you have to practice, practice, practice, and get feedback.

We actually do cover a little bit of that in our other groups, but we do these deep dive five secrets practice groups where where people do role plays and they give each other feedback. And that inspired me to bring it to my hospital where I work at Highland Hospital.

And I got to give a five secrets class on verbal de-escalation of agitated patients for first year ER residents and some people that work at a respite facility. And it was really rewarding. And we're hoping to, we're submitting a proposal to present this for the National Update for Behavioral Emergencies, the Association for Emergency Psychiatry.

Because I think there's a lot out there for verbal de-escalation of agitated people in an emergency room, but they often make the, they don't address the common mistakes that people make, which is jumping into help too soon or failing to disarm, not naming anger. So- Very excited about that contribution.
