Meet Mirror

For many, adolescence involves big and complex feelings. Young people need the space to express themselves freely, without the pressures of likes, comments, and comparison. Backed by robust clinical research, Mirror offers the privacy teens need to reflect, build resilience, and become more comfortable with who they are.

Supported by decades of science research, journaling is considered an effective tool for mental health and personal growth. Mirror is designed to enhance these benefits with interactive prompts crafted by clinicians and AI-driven insights to guide self-reflection. Traditional journaling can sometimes feel unstructured — making it easy to miss patterns or feel stuck — but Mirror’s mood check-ins and personalized summaries help users gain clarity and feel more in control of their mental well-being.

Self-expression looks different every day, and Mirror gives the flexibility to journal in the way that feels right in the moment. Whether jotting down thoughts, filming a video, or recording a voice note, Mirror offers multiple formats to capture thoughts and emotions authentically — anytime, anywhere.

Journaling is personal, and Mirror is built to keep it that way. Entries are stored only on the user’s device, never on our servers. To generate AI summaries, a temporary, encrypted copy is sent to our secure servers for processing and deleted immediately after. No one at the Child Mind Institute will ever see them. All personal information is handled with the highest standards of security and is fully compliant with COPPA, SOC 2, and CCPA regulations.
