This is your space. No grades. No wrong answers.
Mind & Heart Wellness System was built for **you** — to help you understand your feelings, calm your body, and feel a little less alone. You don't need to use every tool. Start small. Come back when you're ready.
A practical guide to using this with your students.
This system is a **structured wellness companion**, not a replacement for professional support. It works best when introduced with context, used consistently, and backed by a trusted adult who can follow up.
How to support a young person using this system.
You don't need to be a therapist. You just need to be present. This guide explains what your child or student is doing inside the system and how you can gently support them without pressure or judgment.
| Step | Emoji | Title | Description | Tip | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 🏠 | Start at the Wellness Hub | This is your home base. Every time you open the app, start here. You'll see Today's Path — a simple 4-step daily routine that takes about 5 minutes. | You don't have to do all 4 steps. Even one is enough. | #a78bfa |
| 2 | 🌅 | Check in with yourself | The Daily Check-In asks one simple question: how are you feeling? Pick the emoji that fits best. There's no wrong answer — even 'I don't know' is a perfectly valid response. | You can check in as many times a day as you want. | #f59e0b |
| 3 | 🎨 | Name what you're feeling | The Emotion Wheel and Emotion Explorer help you find words for feelings that are hard to explain. Sometimes just naming an emotion makes it feel smaller. | Feelings have layers. You might feel more than one at once — that's completely normal. | #fb923c |
| 4 | 🌬️ | Use a calming tool | Breathing Room has 9 different breathing patterns. Grounding Studio has 10 body exercises. Quick Reset is for when you need something fast. Try one and see what works for your body. | Different tools work for different moments. Experiment without pressure. | #38bdf8 |
| 5 | 📓 | Write (or don't) in the journal | The Reflection Journal is private. No one reads it. You can write one word, one sentence, or a page. You can also skip it entirely. It's there when you want it. | Writing doesn't have to make sense. Even 'I feel weird today' is enough. | #4ade80 |
| 6 | 🧰 | Explore the More Tools library | When you have more time or want to go deeper, tap 'More Tools.' You'll find 12 different tools for emotions, self-compassion, strengths, future vision, and more. | Some tools say 'Counselor Guided' — ask a trusted adult to do those with you. | #f9a8d4 |
| 7 | 🛡️ | Know the Safety button is always there | At the bottom of every screen there's a 🛡️ Safety button. It takes you to crisis resources, trusted adult guidance, and helplines. You never need a reason to press it. | If something feels too heavy, stop and tell a trusted adult. That's the bravest thing you can do. | #f87171 |
| Question | Answer | Emoji |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Is my journal private? | Yes. Nothing you write is shared with teachers, parents, or anyone else unless you choose to show them. | 🔒 |
| Can I skip a step? | Always. Every step is optional. Use what helps, skip what doesn't. | ⏩ |
| What if I don't know how I feel? | That's okay. Pick 'Other' or 'Confused' and the tools will help you figure it out. | 😶 |
| Do I have to do this every day? | No. But students who use it regularly — even just the check-in — tend to feel more in control over time. | 🔁 |
| What if I'm really struggling? | Press the 🛡️ Safety button at any time, or tell a trusted adult directly. You don't have to handle it alone. | 🆘 |
| Step | Emoji | Title | Description | Note | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 📚 | Visit the Teacher Resource Center first | Before introducing this to students, explore the Teacher Hub. It contains a Quick Start guide, daily and weekly use plans, counselor scripts, safety protocols, and printable resources. | Tab through Quick Start → Daily Use → Scripts in that order. | #a78bfa |
| 2 | 🗓️ | Introduce it as a routine, not an assignment | The most effective implementation is a consistent 5-minute daily window — morning arrival, transition time, or advisory period. Frame it as a wellness check, not a task. | Say: 'This is time for you. There are no grades. No one will read your responses.' | #38bdf8 |
| 3 | 🎯 | Use Intervention Pathways for specific students | If a student is consistently anxious, struggling with anger, or has experienced social conflict, you can assign one of the 4 structured 5-day pathways. Each guides them step by step. | Pathways are in the Teacher Hub under the Pathways tab. All 4 include 'When to Use' criteria. | #f59e0b |
| 4 | 💬 | Use the Scripts tab for tricky conversations | The Teacher Hub Scripts tab provides word-for-word language for introducing tools, responding to distress, discussing the safety features, and talking to parents about the system. | These scripts are trauma-informed and have been designed to avoid re-triggering. | #f9a8d4 |
| 5 | 📊 | Monitor trends in the Admin Hub | The Admin & District Panel shows anonymized class-level mood trends, tool usage data, and wellbeing shifts over time. Use this for SEL reporting and to identify students who may need more support. | Individual student data is never shown — only aggregate trends. | #4ade80 |
| 6 | 🛡️ | Know the safety protocol | If a student discloses something concerning — in person or through behavior after a session — follow your school's mandatory reporting protocol. The Safety tab in the Teacher Hub outlines specific steps for this system. | Crisis line to share: 988 (call or text) · Text HOME to 741741. | #f87171 |

| Step | Emoji | Title | Description | Do This | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 🏠 | Understand what it is | This is a structured wellness and social-emotional learning tool — not therapy, not surveillance. It helps young people name feelings, calm their nervous system, and build coping skills at their own pace. | Read the Safety & Support Notice slide (linked at the bottom of the Hub) for a full overview of what this is and isn't. | #a78bfa |
| 2 | 🔒 | Respect their privacy | Journal entries and reflection responses are completely private. Students are more likely to be honest — and more likely to benefit — if they know adults aren't reading their words. | Tell them: 'This is your space. I won't read it unless you want to share it with me.' | #4ade80 |
| 3 | 🌟 | Notice and acknowledge, don't interrogate | If your child comes home having used the Emotion Wheel or Breathing Room, acknowledge it positively. 'I'm glad you found something that helps' goes further than 'What were you upset about?' | Ask open, low-pressure questions: 'How are you feeling today?' or 'Did you try anything new in your wellness time?' | #f59e0b |
| 4 | 🤝 | Be available after sessions | Wellness tools can sometimes surface emotions students haven't articulated before. Your calm, non-judgmental presence after a session is the most valuable thing you can offer. | If they seem quieter than usual after a session, try: 'I'm here if you want to talk — no pressure at all.' | #38bdf8 |
| 5 | 🛡️ | Know the safety resources | Every screen in the system has a 🛡️ Safety button. It links to crisis lines, guidance on talking to trusted adults, and what to do if something feels urgent. Share these with your child directly. | Say: 'If you ever feel really overwhelmed — inside the app or not — you can text 988 or text HOME to 741741 any time.' | #f87171 |
| 6 | 💬 | Reinforce the tools at home | If a student learns a breathing technique in Breathing Room, try using it together at home. If they write an affirmation they love, ask them to share it. Connecting the tool to real life doubles its impact. | Try: 'Show me one of the breathing exercises you've been learning — let's try it together tonight.' | #fb923c |
| 7 | 🏫 | Communicate with their teacher or counselor | If you notice significant mood shifts, withdrawal, or behavioral changes — especially after the child has been using the system — reach out to their school counselor. This tool is one layer of support, not the only one. | Share specific observations: 'I've noticed X this week — I wanted to flag it in case it connects to anything at school.' | #60a5fa |
| Question | Answer | Emoji |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Can I see what my child writes? | Journals are private by design. If you're concerned about safety, speak directly to their counselor rather than accessing their entries. | 👁️ |
| Is this a replacement for therapy? | No. This is a wellness and skill-building tool. It can complement therapy, but students with significant needs should still work with a licensed professional. | 🧠 |
| What if my child doesn't want to use it? | That's okay. Don't force it. Let them know it exists and that it's available when they're ready. Pressure undermines the whole purpose. | 📵 |
| What if something they wrote worries me? | Contact their school counselor immediately. If it's an emergency, call or text 988 or take them to the nearest ER. | 🚨 |
| What do teachers see? | Teachers see only anonymized class-level data — overall mood trends and which tools are being used. No individual responses are visible. | 🏫 |
🚨 If a young person is in immediate danger: Call 911 · Text or call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) · Text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line)

| Step | Emoji | Title | Action | Time | Teacher Tip |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 📋 | Read This Guide | Scan all 7 tabs before your first session. Spend 5 minutes on Daily Use and Scripts. | 5 min | You do not need to be an expert. Calm presence matters more than perfect delivery. |
| 2 | 🌅 | Start With Check-In | Project the Daily Check-In screen as students arrive. Let them select a mood without pressure to explain. | 2 min | Normalize the routine: 'Every morning we just notice how we're feeling — no right or wrong answer.' |
| 3 | 🌬️ | Lead One Breathing Exercise | Open Breathing Room and guide the class through Box Breathing or Balloon Breath together. | 2 min | Model it yourself. Students regulate better when they see you breathe too. |
| 4 | 📓 | Offer the Journal | Let students write one sentence in the Reflection Journal. Gratitude or Daily Reflection tab works well. | 3 min | Never read journal entries aloud. Students need to know this is private to open up. |
| 5 | 🎯 | Know Your Escalation Path | Read the Safety tab now. Know what to do if a student discloses something heavy — before it happens. | 3 min | The app has a built-in crisis overlay with 988 and Crisis Text Line. Your role is calm, listen, refer. |
| 6 | 🗓️ | Set a Weekly Rhythm | Use the Weekly Use tab to plan Monday–Friday focus areas. Post the day's tool on the board. | 5 min once/week | Consistency is the whole game. Even 3 minutes a day builds lasting regulation habits. |
| Emoji | Principle | Why It Matters |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 🛡️ | Never promise secrecy | If a student shares something concerning, you are a mandated reporter. Be honest about that from day one. |
| 🔇 | Never force participation | A student who opts out is still benefiting from the safe environment. Coercion causes harm. |
| 📖 | Do not interpret journal entries | Your role is to create safety, not to analyze. Refer anything concerning to the counselor. |
| 🌱 | Progress is invisible at first | Regulation skills take 4–8 weeks to appear in behavior. Trust the process before expecting results. |
| Time | Emoji | Activity | Tool | Teacher Note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2 min | 🌅 | Morning Check-In | Daily Check-In | Project on screen as students enter. Let them select a mood silently or aloud. |
| 1 min | 🎨 | Name the Feeling | Emotion Wheel | Ask: 'Can anyone find a word on the wheel that matches how you feel?' No pressure to share. |
| 2 min | 🌬️ | Quick Reset | Breathing Room | Lead the class through one guided breath cycle together before instruction begins. |
| Optional | 📓 | Journal Prompt | Feelings Journal | Use as a morning warm-up or closing reflection. Students write privately. |
| Day | Emoji | Focus | Tool | Duration |

| Thursday | 💪 | Skills — Build inner tools | Self-Compassion Studio (one tab) | 10–15 min |
| Friday | ✨ | Celebration — Notice growth | Affirmation Cards + Journal | 5–10 min |
| Emoji | Name | Duration | Target Need | Ages | When To Use |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

## 🌀 Inner Parts Exploration
My Inner Parts Explorer 🌀
Get to know your inside team — they all have a job!
YOU have an inside team! Every part has a job. Some protect you, some help you have fun, some carry big feelings. Based on IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy — no part is bad. 💜
A part is like a little voice, feeling, or character inside you. It might sound like words in your head. It might feel like a big emotion in your body. It might look like a character you imagine. Every part has a job — some protect you, some help you have fun, and some carry feelings that are hard.
Every part of you has its own story. By getting to know your parts, you understand what they need and how they help you. They give you clues about what you are feeling. They try to keep you safe. They are never 'bad' — even if they act in tricky ways, they are trying to help.
🗺️ When I look at my Safety Map, I remember my parts are never alone. I can always find safety inside and around me.
Being honest about our scared parts takes real courage. You are safe here. 💜
⚡ You are the HERO! ⚡
You named your demon AND your weapons. That's exactly what heroes do! 🌟
Protector Parts are like the bodyguards of your heart. Their job is simple: keep you safe, keep you strong. They might not always act helpfully, but they mean well! We get good Protector Parts and not-so-good ones — but their job is still the same: to protect us.
🗺️ My Safety Map
When your scared part shows up, you have a whole map of safe people, places, and things to help you feel calm again.
💌 Letter to My Scared Part
Write a letter to the scared part of you. Tell it you see it, you hear it, and you'll take care of it. Remember: be honest. Be brave. You don't have to be perfect.
Dear Scared Part,

I know you show up when...
⚔️ Face Your Demon
Name your biggest 'demon' — a fear, a worry, or something hard (like fear, failure, rejection, or peer pressure). Then write your weapons: the skills, people, and parts that help you face it!
My demon is... (e.g., fear of getting things wrong, feeling left out)
My weapons are... (e.g., courage, asking for help, breathing, my brave part)
🔍 Naming the Hard Parts
Are there parts of you that you do not like very much? Is there a part that gets you in trouble sometimes? Do you have a part that others don't always understand? If that part could talk, what would it say it's trying to do?
When did this part first start helping you?
What does this part look like, sound like, or feel like?
What does this part want to tell you?
What is this part afraid would happen if it did not do its job?
💬 My Inner Dialogue
Inside us, we often have two voices: one that worries or criticizes, and another that is kind and encouraging. Writing down your Inner Dialogue helps you notice both — and practice choosing the kinder one.
Write a short conversation between your Inner Critic (negative thoughts) and Inner Coach (kind, reframed responses). Practice choosing the kinder voice!
Which inner voice do I want to listen to more often? Practice saying the coach's words out loud! 🎤
This part first showed up when...
It looks, sounds, or feels like...
It wants to tell me...
It is afraid that if it stopped...

"All of me belongs. Even the parts I don't always like." — Radical Self-Acceptance
Think of yourself like a band. Each part of you is a different performer! Some are loud, some are shy, some make mistakes, some shine bright. But the concert only works when ALL parts are on stage together. 🎤

💫 Believing in My Worth
Self-esteem doesn't mean being perfect or always confident. It means knowing your value doesn't disappear when you make mistakes, struggle, or feel unsure. You matter. You belong. You are enough.
Building self-esteem is like going on a journey. Each step you take — showing kindness, believing in yourself, or trying something new — moves you forward. Every day you show kindness and discover a new strength, add it to your path!
🎤 My Inner Voice Microphone
Your voice is powerful. Write or draw empowering words and phrases inside the microphone to remind yourself of your strength.
"I am brave enough to try." | "I don't need to be perfect." | "I have strengths worth sharing." | "I can shine in my own way."
When I feel nervous, I can tell myself...
If I were my own biggest fan, I would say...

| 1 | ⚡ | Know Your Triggers | Emotion Explorer — Name My Feeling | Trigger Awareness | What usually sets off a strong feeling for you? Is it a person, a place, a type of moment? | Help students distinguish between external triggers (something that happened) and internal ones (a thought or memory). |
| 2 | 🚦 | Early Warning Signs | Daily Check-In — body awareness | Body & Emotion Recognition | What happens in your body BEFORE you get really upset? What are the early signs? | Create a personal 'warning signs' list with the student — racing heart, clenched fists, hot face. Early awareness is the key to early intervention. |
| 3 | ⏸️ | The Pause Practice | Breathing Room — Box Breathing or 4-7-8 | Pause & Reset | What does it feel like to pause instead of react? Did anything surprise you about using the breath? | Role-play the pause with the student. Practice saying 'I need a moment' out loud so it becomes an automatic response. |
| 4 | 🌿 | Grounding When Escalated | Grounding Studio — 5-4-3-2-1 or Feel Your Feet | Present-Moment Regulation | Did the grounding exercise change how your body felt? What worked best for you? | Practice grounding BEFORE an escalation happens so the student can access it automatically when activated. |
| 5 | 🗺️ | My Regulation Plan | Reflection Journal — Daily Reflection | Integration & Choice | If you feel that trigger again, what is your plan? Name your first step, your second step, and who you will go to if you need help. | Co-create a written regulation plan with the student and make a copy for their teacher. This is one of the highest-impact things a counselor can do. |
| Day | Emoji | Activity Title | Tool | Focus | Reflection Prompt | Counselor Tip |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | 💭 | Name the Feeling | Emotion Explorer — Emotion Wheel | Emotional Identification | What feeling came up during the conflict? Where did you feel it in your body? | Validate the feeling first — before any problem-solving. Students cannot think clearly until they feel heard. |
| 2 | 👁️ | See Their Side | Reflection Journal — Free Write | Perspective Awareness | What do you think the other person was feeling? What might they have needed in that moment? | This step is not about agreeing — it is about building empathy. Keep it curiosity-based: 'I wonder what they were thinking...' |
| 3 | ⏸️ | Practice the Pause | Breathing Room — Lazy River or Balloon Breath | Regulation Before Re-engagement | What happens when you breathe before responding? Does it change what you want to say? | Help students identify their personal signal to pause — a word, a gesture, or a breath they can use in the moment with others. |
| 4 | 🗣️ | Repair Language | Reflection Journal — Hard Today Because... | Communication & Repair | What words could you use to start a repair conversation? Write one sentence you could say. | Teach 'I feel ___ when ___ because ___' sentence starters. Practice saying them aloud before trying them in a real conversation. |
| 5 | 🌱 | Reflect and Move Forward | Reflection Journal — Tomorrow I Want To | Integration & Growth | What did you learn about yourself from this experience? What would you do differently next time? | End with a celebration of the student's growth. Conflict is one of the hardest social skills to navigate — completing this path is a real achievement. |

| 1 | 💭 | Name Your Feelings | Name Your Feelings | Awareness | What feelings came up for you today? Did any of them surprise you? | Let students pick 3 words that describe how anxiety feels in their body. |
| 2 | 🫁 | Body Awareness | Body Awareness Check-In | Somatic Grounding | Where do you feel worry or stress in your body? What does it feel like — tight, heavy, fluttery? | Ask students to draw or point to where they feel anxiety before moving to breath work. |
| 3 | 🌬️ | Breathing Practice | Breathing Room — 4-7-8 or Balloon Breath | Nervous System Regulation | How did your body feel BEFORE versus AFTER the breathing? What changed? | Use 4-7-8 for ages 9+ and Balloon Breath for younger students. Practice 3 rounds. |
| 4 | 🌿 | 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding | Grounding Exercises — 5-4-3-2-1 Senses | Present-Moment Anchoring | What did you notice around you during the grounding? Did it help you feel more present? | Do this exercise standing up if possible — physical engagement deepens the grounding effect. |
| 5 | 📓 | Feelings Journal | Feelings Journal | Integration & Reflection | Look back at Day 1. How has your relationship with anxiety shifted this week? What's your go-to tool now? | Celebrate completion! Ask the student which tool they want to use independently going forward. |

| 1 | 🎙️ | Inner Voice Awareness | Inner Skills Lab — Inner Critic tab | Self-Awareness | What does your inner critic usually say to you? Is it louder at certain times? | Normalize the inner critic — every human has one. Help students name their critic (e.g., 'Worry Voice') to create distance. |
| 2 | 🔄 | Reframe the Thought | Inner Skills Lab — Reframe It tab | Cognitive Flexibility | Which thought was the hardest to reframe? What would a kind friend say to you instead? | Use the 'Reframe It' CBT pairs in Inner Skills Lab. Let students pick the thought that feels most true for them. |
| 3 | ✨ | Affirmation Practice | Affirmation Cards | Positive Self-Talk | Which affirmation felt the most true today? Which one do you WANT to feel true? | Use the 'Say it 3 times' feature. Research shows spoken affirmations activate neural pathways differently than silent ones. |
| 4 | 🪞 | Mirror Work | Inner Skills Lab — Mirror Work tab | Self-Compassion | What was it like to say kind things to yourself? What made it feel hard or easy? | Mirror work can feel uncomfortable at first — that's normal. Validate the discomfort and celebrate showing up anyway. |
| 5 | 💌 | Letter of Kindness to Myself | Compassion Letter — Kind Letter tab | Integration & Self-Compassion | Read your letter back. What would you like to remember from everything you've worked on this week? | Encourage students to keep their letter somewhere private. Some students like to re-read it on hard days. |

| Tool Name | Emoji | How To Use It | Why It Helps | Ages | Category | Color |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Belly Breathing | 🫁 | Put one hand on your belly. Breathe in slowly through your nose for 4 counts — feel your belly rise. Hold for 2. Breathe out through your mouth for 6 counts. Repeat 5 times. | Slow breathing activates your body's 'rest and digest' system, reducing anxiety in minutes. | 3+ | Breathe | #38bdf8 |
| 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding | 🌿 | Name 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, 1 you can taste. Say them out loud. | Brings your mind back to the present moment and out of anxious thoughts. | 5+ | Ground | #4ade80 |
| Shake It Out | 🕺 | Stand up. Shake your hands, then arms, then whole body for 30 seconds. Shake out any tension you're holding. | Animals shake after stress to release nervous energy from their bodies — humans can too! | 3+ | Move | #f59e0b |
| Safe Place Visualization | 🏡 | Close your eyes. Imagine your safest, happiest place in detail — what does it look, smell, sound, and feel like? Spend 2–3 minutes there. | Visualization activates the same brain areas as real experience, reducing stress hormones. | 6+ | Imagine | #a78bfa |
| The Color Scan | 🎨 | Pick a color. Scan the room and count every object that color. Keep going until you feel more calm. | A focused attention task interrupts anxious thought spirals effectively. | 4+ | Ground | #ec4899 |
| Ice Cube Trick | 🧊 | Hold an ice cube in your hand for 30 seconds. Focus on the cold sensation — notice how it changes. | Strong physical sensation disrupts intense emotional states and brings you back to your body. | 7+ | Body | #60a5fa |
| Thought Defusion | 🍃 | Notice a difficult thought. Say: 'I notice I'm having the thought that...' Add 'thank you brain!'

| Name the Feeling | 🏷️ | Ask yourself: 'What am I feeling right now?' Name it out loud or write it down. Try to be as specific as possible (not just 'bad' — try 'worried', 'hurt', or 'overwhelmed'). | Research shows naming emotions reduces their intensity by up to 50% — it's called 'affect labeling'. | 5+ | Feel | #fbbf24 |
| Progressive Muscle Relaxation | 💪 | Squeeze your fists tight for 5 seconds, then release. Do your shoulders, face, stomach, legs. Notice how different tight vs. relaxed feels. | Systematically releasing muscle tension trains the body to recognize and release stress. | 8+ | Body | #f97316 |
| Write & Crumple | 📝 | Write down everything you're worried about on paper. Don't censor it. Then crumple it up, rip it, or throw it in the trash. | Externalizing worries reduces their power. The physical act of discarding reinforces releasing. | 7+ | Express | #fb923c |
| The STOP Technique | 🛑 | S: Stop what you're doing. T: Take a breath. O: Observe what's happening — in your body, thoughts, feelings. P: Proceed with kindness. | A mindfulness-based technique from DBT that interrupts reactive patterns. | 9+ | Think | #f43f5e |

| Self-Compassion Phrase | 💜 | Put your hand on your heart and say slowly: 'This is hard. Suffering is part of being human. May I be kind to myself right now.' | Dr. Kristin Neff's self-compassion research shows this phrase reduces cortisol and increases calm. | 10+ | Feel | #7c3aed |
| Sensory Walk | 🌳 | Go outside for a slow walk. Notice 3 beautiful things, 3 sounds, 3 textures. No phone. Just notice. | Nature + mindfulness reduces cortisol levels significantly — even 5 minutes helps. | 6+ | Ground | #65a30d |
| Worry Time | ⏰ | Set a timer for 10 minutes. During this time ONLY, write every worry you have. When the timer ends, close the notebook. Worries must wait until next Worry Time. | Scheduling worry limits its spread across the day — a CBT technique with strong evidence. | 10+ | Think | #0891b2 |
