Summary
This resource introduces How We Feel, a free science-based app designed to help users identify, track, and regulate their emotions. Created by researchers, designers, and therapists (including experts from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence) the app draws on the RULER approach and the Mood Meter framework to promote emotional awareness and well-being. Users check in on how they feel, reflect on possible causes, and access evidence-based strategies and videos to manage emotions in healthy, intentional ways.
