AFI Corp, a premier provider of leading technology solutions, is partnering with iWill, a space for therapy designed by experts to help individuals beat depression, anxiety, and other stressors and empower them to achieve their optimum self as people and professionals.

iWill is a complete mental and emotional care system available online through the iWill app (Android and iOS). It includes specialised therapy programs and sessions, mental wellbeing classes, assessments, and other tools. iWill has a proven success rate of 98%.

The global pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental wellbeing of all people, irrespective of age, profession, etc. The sudden and unexpected change in our way of life over the past 18 months has put immense pressure. These stresses have been expressed through depression, anxiety, anger, frustration, fear, etc., which in turn have significantly lowered productivity and general satisfaction in life.

iWill is a platform that assesses each user to understand their current emotional and mental concerns, creating a customised therapy journey and connecting the user with their best-match therapists. iWill therapists are qualified and experienced psychologists, therapists, counsellors and psychoanalysts who have proven to be experts in their areas of specialisation.

Available in English, Sinhala and Tamil languages, iWill can also be used by individuals by downloading through the Play Store or App Store as appropriate, completing the free assessment, and paying only for the sessions they book. Consultations are available every day, from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. Each session lasts 50 minutes long.

iWill is also available as a platform for corporates. “iWill for corporates will allow future-minded corporations to help employees optimize their wellbeing without infringing on their privacy, resulting in happy and productive employees who in turn lead to a successful business,”  AFI Corp Chief Growth Officer Hifnaz Jiffrey commented. They will provide overall insights on the psychological wellbeing of its workforce, allowing them to initiate positive HR interventions that work for their employees. AFI Corp Business Development Manager Sachin Munasinghe stated: “iWill is provided through an app, users are not only provided convenient and customised access to the support they need in the comfort of their home, but don’t have to deal with the stigma that is still unfortunately associated with mental health and wellbeing. All they have to do is download the app, answer a few questions to customize the support they need, and they are good to go.”

AFI Corp is a fast-growing technology company that provides technology solutions and support to companies in the US while providing Sri Lankan businesses the opportunity to utilise game-changing technology products and solutions from across the world, helping them level up and attain global competitiveness. AFI Corp also runs an executive search operation, connecting top Sri Lankan talent with leading firms in the US and the EU.

Launched in 2017, iWill is the first structured therapy app in the world. It is a product of ePsyClinic, a social enterprise focused on creating digital public mental health systems that provide effective care. iWill’s assessment methodology, customised mental health journeys, bank of expert mental health professionals, and complex algorithm that matches users with their best-suited carers generates a 98% rate of success.
