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.
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.
