We are so excited to introduce GrowSEL — a Social Emotional Learning home practice platform Dr. Megan built specifically for the children and families we work with every day.

As play therapists, we kept asking ourselves: what happens to the growth we create in session when kids go home? So we built the answer.

GrowSEL allows therapists to create personalized daily skill plans for children to practice at home with their families — building real emotional skills between sessions, not just during them.

✨ What makes GrowSEL different:
🧠 6 SEL focus areas designed for ages 6-12
🌲 Family skills for siblings and parent-child connection
🎖️ Specialized support for military families
🏡 Support for divorced families
😊 Daily mood check-ins and progress tracking
🏅 Badges and rewards kids actually love
📊 Weekly PDF progress reports for therapists

For $14.99/month Therapists can have up to 30 clients in their dashboard. And for $2.99/month clients can have access to personalized SEL plans and progress tracking in-between sessions.

Therapists invite clients - so ask your therapist about GrowSEL today!

We are continuing to improve and expand the focus areas and skill sections as well!

Pro tip: On your iPhone open GrowSEL in Safari, tap three dots at the bottom, click Share button ↑, and tap ‘Add to Home Screen’ — it works just like a real app!
