"I really like the kit and I would like to say that it really helped me to figure out my mental health. I was very disturbed due to Covid and searching for my Co-op. This kit helped me make my schedule and arrange my work in a proper way."

"I would describe my feelings of anxiety as something that makes me worry too much about the future and paralyzes me in the current moment. Journaling with Press Pause definitely helps the spiral."

What customers have to say...

"The Press Pause Mental Wellness Kit is very helpful to us students... it is somehow a mini diary for me. I can track my moods and my feelings as well. Especially in this challenging time, staying at home and doing everything remotely adds up anxieties and loneliness."
