The Department of Defense launched a new mobile app designed to help the military community manage stress. The free Chill Drills by Military OneSource mobile app is now available for download on Google Play and Apple’s App Store.
The Chill Drills app includes a collection of mindfulness audio exercises that give service members and military families access to expert stress-relieving techniques, which can help:
- Slow heart rate
- Lower blood pressure
- Reduce the levels of stress hormones in the body
- Improve sleep quality and the ability to fall asleep
- Encourage muscle relaxation
“Life in the military comes with many opportunities and also unique challenges, so managing stress is critical,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy Patricia “Patty” Montes Barron. “The Department of Defense is thrilled to deliver one of our most popular and highly-requested web products in the form of a new mobile application, so the military community can regenerate and be well anytime and anywhere.”
To ensure the Chill Drills app continues to meet the needs of the military community, the department will review and evaluate the new app to help inform ongoing updates and enhancements.
Chill Drills is one of two apps recently launched by the department. The My Military OneSource mobile app, launched in 2020, offers a fast, 24/7 gateway to personalized military benefits, access to experts, guides for the military community and much more.
