Resiliency App: Study participants randomized to the Immediate group will receive the text-messaging app, B-RESILIENT-an adaptation of a Resiliency Course for improving mood in individuals with depressive symptoms--for 4 weeks. Wk 1: BOOST - manage unhealthy thoughts. Wk 2: BREAK - doing pleasant activities. Wk 3: BUDDY - effective communication for social support. Wk 4: Review of first 3 weeks. Each day, users will receive a daily affirmation text message, a series of approximately 5-10 text messages on the topic of the day, and a daily goal corresponding to the day's content (e.g. do a pleasant activity). At the end of the day, users will receive text messages asking them to report whether they completed the daily goal, followed by a daily mood measure.
