When stem4 was founded, our mission was simple yet crucial: to provide evidence-based mental health tools for young people. Our journey began with the creation of Calm Harm, an app developed by Dr. Niahra Krause and our dedicated team, designed to support young people struggling with self-harm. What we didn’t anticipate was how quickly the app would spread, primarily through word of mouth. Users, as well as professionals, began recommending the app to others, and we were amazed by how far it reached.

Fast forward to 2025, and stem4 has expanded to offer five evidence-based apps: Clear Fear, Calm Harm, Worth Warrior, Move Mood, and Combined Minds. Although we are still a small charity, we have continued to rely on the generosity of those who share their experiences or incorporate our apps into their practices. It’s because of you that we’ve reached over 4 million downloads worldwide.

But we want to do more. We want to reach even more young people in need of support. That’s where you come in.

Why Your Story Matters

The impact of stem4’s apps is best reflected in the real stories of young people and professionals who have experienced how these tools can help. These stories, shared by people like you, play a vital role in helping us spread the word so that others can benefit from the same support.

Here are just a few examples of how our apps have made a difference:

We Need Your Help!

We want to collect video submissions from people who want to share how stem4’s apps have helped them, or someone they know. Your personal stories have the power to inspire others and encourage them to try the app.

What We’re Looking For:

  • What you like about the app(s)
  • What makes stem4’s apps different from other mental health apps
  • How the app(s) have supported your mental health
  • Tips or advice for others who might be thinking about using the app(s)

Video Requirements:

  • Length: 2-3 minutes (or shorter if preferred)
  • Format: Landscape (horizontal) video for easy cropping
  • File type: MP4, MOV, or another common format
  • You can choose to show your face or simply record your voice

We understand that sharing your face may not be comfortable for everyone, so we’re giving you the option to submit your voice or just share a written review instead. Whether you submit a video or write a review, your contribution will make a huge impact.

Submit Your Video

If you would like to share your story, please submit your video through our Google Form.

If a video isn’t for you, you can still make a difference by leaving a review in the app store. Every review helps us grow and ensures more young people can access the mental health tools they need.

Together, We Can Reach More Young People

At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to ensure every young person who needs mental health support has access to it. By sharing your story, you are helping us continue our mission, and for that, we are incredibly grateful.

Thank you for supporting stem4 and being part of this incredible community. We look forward to hearing your stories and sharing them with the world.
