What makes this course different

Most mental health tools for teens feel like they were written for someone else—too clinical, too surface-level, or just missing the point.

Thoughts & Feelings is different. This online course speaks directly to teens in a voice that’s clear, respectful, and real. Based on proven tools from CBT, ACT, and DBT, it breaks skills down into simple, doable steps.

Through engaging, interactive activities in video format, as well as practical worksheets, teens learn how to shift unhelpful thoughts, manage overwhelming emotions, and take meaningful action. These are skills they can start using right away—and ones they’ll carry with them long after the course is done.

What your teen will learn:

  • Identify and challenge negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood

  • Develop mindfulness techniques to stay grounded during stressful moments

  • Build practical coping strategies for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm

  • Create personalized action plans to improve mood and motivation

  • Master self-compassion to replace self-criticism with supportive inner dialogue

Perfect for teens who:

  • Feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or difficult emotions

  • Struggle with negative self-talk or low confidence

  • Want practical tools to manage social pressures

  • Need strategies to improve focus and motivation

  • Could benefit from better emotional regulation skills

Help your teen learn mental and emotional skills they’ll use for a life time

Imagine this:

  • When negative thoughts appear before a test, your teen can now recognize them as "thinking traps" and use their thought-challenging techniques to calm their mind.

  • Instead of spiraling when they feel overwhelmed, they apply a 5-minute mindfulness practice to center themselves.

  • When faced with difficult social situations, they draw on their personalized anxiety management plan, allowing them to participate with growing confidence.

  • Rather than avoiding challenges, they now sees them as opportunities to apply resilience skills and grow stronger.

  • That critical inner voice that used to drag them down? They replaced it with self-compassion practices that build them up instead.
