TeenToks: Mental Health Videos

I love TeenToks because of how fun and entertaining the videos are while also teaching me a lot of tools to help my mental health. I usually end up feeling drained after a while of using other social media apps, but it’s the exact opposite for TeenToks! The videos don’t get boring or repetitive and I actually look forward to using the app because of its positive atmosphere. It can be hard to find mental health resources that are 1) engaging and 2) actually helpful, but this app is both! And as a teenager, it‘s really great to see other teens talking about mental health topics and struggles. The teen video creators do an incredible job teaching and connecting with viewers, which is a big part of why using this app helps me feel less alone. I really recommend TeenToks to other teenagers who are looking to learn more about mental health, feel understood by other teens, or just watch positive, fun videos!

Teen Toks is changing the scope of what it means to support children and teenagers with their mental health. Engaging, Entertaining, just a joy to watch and learn from these content creators!

This app is incredible! It’s an amazing resource for not only teens but adults and kids too. The videos are both engaging and informative! The videos are so creative and entertaining it’s hard not to watch them all! This app varies in a ton of different struggles that people face and is constantly brightening my day!

Great application, great content. Definitely recommend. My favorite was Grace! She is excellent

I love these videos. As a therapist who works with teens, showing them mental health info from people closer to their age is super powerful!

Engaging content that does more than just normalize mental health, it also provides easy tools for teens to take of their mental health. With advice from everything from anxiety to body image. This app is the tool box every teen needs in their pocket.

The videos are all super engaging so I can sit around and scroll for hours if I want, just like other social media apps. The difference is that here, the content I’m consuming is actually helpful, too. I’ve learned a lot of techniques that help in all areas of my life, and I’ve ended up sharing them with my parents too lol. It’s really great because I can access it any time I don’t feel great and immediately find something that can help. It’s kinda like the express version of therapy. I love it, and definitely recommend it for everyone and their moms. And dads and siblings and friends and… basically just for everyone!

I really enjoyed the colors of the teen tok app; I think the layout, design, and graphics presents an environment for students of all ages to engage and learn about mental health practice. I also appreciate how the app seeks to track the meditation schedule of the children. Therefore, children can easily track and keep tabs on their mental health progress. One element that I feel can be made better on the app is the section about the students that create the tick tocks. I think it would be helpful for these tik tokers to discuss their educational and personal background in a short paragraph prior to the log of their videos. I also think that the tik tokers should have fun facts about themselves before the videos. I think this will help students humanize the tik tokers, and relate and trust the words of the tik tokers. I also think there should be a free video section. While I understand the app desires for people to pay for videos, not all individuals are capable of paying. Therefore, constantly clicking on videos that one has to pay for can discourage poorer students from utilizing the app.

Love this! I have been using in my school and with my teen patients. Super helpful and most importantly it really resonates with both kids and teens. Highly recommend to therapists. Renee Jain and her team are geniuses and super creative. Thank you for putting a wonderful tool in the hands of therapists.

I love all the free videos. I’ve been watching some every few days for the past couple of weeks, and they have helped my life in some actually pretty noticeable ways My criticism is mainly the price of the subscription. Firstly, many teens do not have their own money or access to ways to digitalize that money to buy a subscription like this- myself included. Secondly, I think $10 a month is a bit too pricy for what’s included, as right now it is very limited. You only get 6 new videos a week and have a total of less than 500 videos to scroll through. While this is definitely still a lot of content, it is limited, and I can’t imagine myself wanting to pay $10 a month for it. The yearly option is much more reasonable, but in my humble opinion I think the monthly pay option should be closer to maybe 6 or 7 dollars a month, at least until the platform significantly expands. Also, it annoys me how certain videos that used to be free no longer are? I like to rewatch the videos but then I noticed a couple I would rewatch I can’t anymore and it was disappointing. I also think this app would benefit from a free trial system (if it has one idk, but it’s not openly advertised) and benefit from at least slightly more free content Honestly wishing y’all the best, because like this review is called, this app has seriously great potential.
