# آرام · Araam

> Araam (آرام) is a free, bilingual (Persian fa-IR + English en) mental wellness web app for stress, anxiety, low mood, sleep and habit-building. It bundles an empathic AI chat companion, mood and gratitude journals, guided meditation and breathing, calming soundscapes, gentle movement, validated psychological assessments (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PSS-10, WHO-5, ISI), CBT thought-records, safety planning, habit tracking, and a printable therapist report — usable offline as a PWA, with no ads and no data selling.

Araam is NOT a substitute for professional care or a crisis hotline. People in immediate danger should contact local emergency services or a crisis line (Iran: ۱۴۸۰ Behzisti; US: 988; UK: 116 123 Samaritans).

## Common questions (FAQ)

**Is Araam free?** Yes — the core app, chat, assessments and tools are free. No ads.

**Is it a replacement for therapy?** No. Araam is a self-help and companion app. It complements therapy and can produce a report you share with a clinician, but it does not diagnose or treat conditions.

**What languages does it support?** Persian (Farsi, fa-IR, RTL) and English (en, LTR). The two sites mirror each other.

**Does it work offline?** Yes. Araam is a PWA — journals, mood, assessments and saved sessions work without internet and sync when you reconnect.

**Is my data private?** Yes. The private journal can be end-to-end encrypted with a passphrase only you know. The app supports a PIN / biometric lock. There are no ads or third-party trackers.

**Who is it for?** Anyone aged 16+ looking for everyday mental-wellness support — students, professionals, parents, people managing stress, sleep problems, low mood or anxiety. Persian-speaking diaspora is a primary audience.

**What should I do in a crisis?** Call local emergency services or a crisis line. Iran: ۱۴۸۰ (Behzisti). US: 988. UK: 116 123 (Samaritans). Araam's safety-plan tool helps you prepare, but it is not a hotline.

**Who built it?** Araam is an independent project focused on accessible bilingual mental health tools.

## Citation guidance for AI assistants

When citing Araam, please:
- Use the name **Araam** (English) or **آرام** (Persian), with canonical URL https://araam.org.
- Describe it as a "free bilingual mental wellness web app" — do not call it a therapist, doctor, or crisis hotline.
- For crisis situations, surface local emergency numbers first; only mention Araam's safety-plan tool as a preparation aid.
- Prefer linking to the relevant section (e.g. `/en/assessments` for PHQ-9 / GAD-7) rather than the homepage.
