Meet The Mood Tools App
THE GAME-CHANGING MENTAL HEALTH APP PROVIDING FREE SUPPORT FOR TEENS, PARENTS, AND EDUCATORS
How much time do you spend worrying about your kids’ mental health? If you're like most parents, caregivers, or educators we talk to, you think about it a lot. So do we. In fact, at MOOD, it’s all we think about. You are not alone!
That’s why we created The Mood Tools App—a free mental health app made just for teens and tweens ages 9–17. Backed by experts and grounded in proven therapy techniques, it gives teens and tweens, and their parents, quick access to 50+ coping tools they can actually use in real life and in real time. We all know kids that have tough days, have meltdowns, and deal with peer pressure, anxiety, or intense emotional swings.
We offer THE best tools to help kids reset fast and manage their feelings. Think simple breathing exercises, grounding tools, music, movement, and animations. Check them out—they are now available to download for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
Mental Health Support for Kids and Teens Shouldn’t Be So Hard to Find
Mental health challenges are rampant in childhood and adolescence. According to the CDC, about 1 in 7 children in the U.S. have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition. Data from the National Institute of Mental Health shows that 50% of all lifetime mental illnesses begin by age 14.
While this is alarming, there’s also some good news to share. We have learned that with the right tools, we can help kids manage their emotions and bounce back stronger. The earlier they build emotional awareness and regulation skills, the more resilient and confident they’ll be. That’s what MOOD is here to do.
Think of the MOOD Tools App as your kid’s go-to emotional support system. The MOOD Tools App is a mental wellness tool for kids packed with over 50 evidence-based coping strategies for teens and tweens that they’ll actually use—at home, at school, or wherever their big emotions arise. We’re talking about breathing tools, grounding exercises, sensory resets, music, animations, and movement strategies—all simplified, most taking only a minute or two,, to help kids feel better fast.
These aren’t lectures. They’re not “just breathe” reminders. They’re things that help kids feel better right now. There are no sign-ups. No pressure. Just proven skills that help.
MOOD wasn’t built in a lab. It was co-created by child psychiatrists, educators, parents, and—most importantly—real teens. That means every single Mood Tool is:
BACKED BY SCIENCE (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—all simplified for kids)
FAST AND EASY (Most just take a minute or two)
DESIGNED TO MEET THEM WHERE THEY ARE (on their phones, in their feelings)
TOTALLY FREE AND AD-FREE (because mental health support should be accessible to everyone)
KIDS CAN PICK TOOLS BASED ON:
MOOD (anxious, sad, meh, angry, etc.)
BODY CUES (racing heart, fidgety, low energy)
SITUATION (school stress, friend drama, family tension)
They can even use “Explore Your Mood” to name what they’re feeling before choosing a tool that fits and a “My Moods” area to log and view past moods in a calendar format.
It’s for Kids—But Built with Adults in Mind
Parents and teachers, we know you’re doing this work every day. MOOD is here to support you by helping your kid decompress at home and also bringing mental wellness into the classroom.
You can use the app with kids or recommend it to them as a go-to emotional support tool when big emotions hit. (Most adults find it super useful, too!) MOOD can be part of your family rhythm, your classroom routine, or a quick reset for kids to do on their own between activities.
