Resources
BeHerd changes the way teens and those who care about them connect, share, and help—while making it easier to access resources that promote mental health and overall wellness.
The BeHerd team has curated the following products and services for your betterment. We have not used, read, or tested all of these services/products. However, sources we trust and respect (sometimes our staff members and/or their children) have listed them as items that have been helpful to them or that they recommend as being helpful to others. We do earn a referral fee for some items you purchase by linking from our site. Since BeHerd is free for users, these “commissions” help us maintain and make continued improvements to the app.
