ClearlyMe®

ClearlyMe® is a mental health app to see teens through tough times.

Researchers from the Black Dog Institute, in collaboration with teens, mental health experts, and clinicians, have codesigned ClearlyMe® to support young people who are experiencing depressive symptoms, psychological distress, or, in other words, going through a tough time. But, going through a tough time can be more than just feeling low or sad. It could mean that we are feeling stressed, worried or overwhelmed. Other times, it could be that we struggle to get out of bed in the morning, and we don't know why. 

ClearlyMe is available for free and can help teens to:
•	Think and feel better when they're going through a tough time
•	Be the best version of themselves and get the most out of school and life
•	Get to know themselves, their thoughts, feelings and actions
•	Show them they are not alone, and help is available if they need it 

ClearlyMe is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is the gold-standard treatment for depressive symptoms in young people and has been tested in a large clinical randomised control trial (RCT), showing that it improves depressive symptoms and health-related quality of life in teens aged 12-17.


One app. Many helpful tools.
An all-in-one app with 37 different CBT activities compiled into 9 collections, stories from other young people, 40 different mind hacks for quick relief in tough moments, mood tracking, mindful meditations and a get help button.


Created by teens. For teens.
We've codesigned ClearlyMe with the help of parents, teens, and other mental health experts, and we have built it in a way that makes sense for teens.


Free to use. Anywhere. Anytime.
Whether that's in private at home or on the bus to school, teens can use ClearlyMe when they need it most. Individual activities take at most 10 minutes to complete, and collections take up to 20 minutes.

By themselves or with help from others.
Teens can complete collections or activities in any order confidentially or with the help of friends, parents or mental health professionals.


Easily supports clinical care.
ClearlyMe incorporates CBT strategies commonly used by mental health professionals and can be used as an entry point into treatment, between sessions or alongside therapy. These treatment components include psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, worry time, emotion awareness and acceptance, goal setting, problem-solving, activity scheduling, exposure, relaxation, mindfulness, and values labelling.
