Women’s Mental Health – Tools & Apps

A gentle toolkit of ND-friendly apps, planners and supports you can explore — from calming and grounding tools to hormone trackers, routines and safety plans.

How to use this page: Browse the sections below to explore different types of tools and apps. Many are especially helpful for neurodivergent women who prefer structure, visuals and gentle reminders. Always choose what feels safe and right for you, and take breaks whenever you need to.

Calm & Grounding Tools

Guided Breathing Apps

Short, step-by-step breathing exercises that walk you through calming your body. Many include visuals or vibrations to match your breath, which can be especially helpful when words feel too hard to follow.
