PhoenixRise

By: Frentzen Taslim
Course: IAT 387 Directed Study

Description: PhoenixRise is a resilience‑building app that helps students recognize, prevent, and recover from academic burnout. Students begin with a narrative that illustrates what burnout looks like, then are guided by Auri, a phoenix companion who shows healthier ways to respond to academic pressure.


The app guides students with practices through gratitude journaling, scenario modules, and reflective journaling. Students record gratitudes to shift their mindset before facing challenges. In scenario modules, participants choose the best response and receive feedback on why it is effective. Through reflective journaling, they write their own responses and receive personalized guidance to strengthen coping skills.
