Plan, design, and track exposures: gradual practice for anxious kids and teens

Why we built it

Helping clinicians turn knowledge into practice

For years, clinicians have told us that planning and carrying out exposures is one of the hardest parts of treating anxiety. We built this tool to make that easier: step by step, from the first challenge to tracking progress over time.
