We’re now offering design services to mental health and wellness organizations. Click below for more information.
Accessible mental health tools for all.
Our first kit “The Original” works by providing you with a set of positive thinking and CBT tools to help improve your mental wellness. Press Pause is all about the usability of the product, which is why we have conveniently redesigned and pooled together evidence-based tools to help manage feelings of stress and anxiety.
Available Now: More tools for students, backed by research.
We took everything we learned from student and counselor feedback and combined it with current research to create The MindSet Journal: an accessible guided journaling experience that was built by students, for students, and from student feedback.
“I became more capable of coping with my stress once I started to learn the source of it.”
