Your daily workout for life

Underpinned by the Smiling Mind Mental Fitness Model

The Smiling Mind App is designed to empower you with the skills you need to build and maintain mental wellbeing through our Mental Fitness Model, an evidence-based framework for thriving.

Developed by a team of psychologists, researchers, and wellbeing practitioners, the model draws on extensive research and testing to guide practical strategies for building resilience, managing stress, and improving overall wellbeing.

Backed by research and designed for real life through:

• Literature, research and evidence review

• Creation, validation and assessment of the proposed model, including consumer testing and feedback

• Mapping interventions to specific skills, age groups, and real-life contexts

Underpinned by this model, the Smiling Mind App empowers you to live mindfully, embrace flexible thinking, grow connections, act purposefully and recharge your body. These mental fitness skills can be developed proactively - before mental ill-health arises - giving you resources to draw upon as you navigate life's ups and downs.

Practical tool for real, human needs

Access meditations, learning pathways, collections and activities for adults and children, designed by psychologists. Focus your mental fitness practice around a specific goal or need such as managing anxiety, enhancing focus, sleeping better or growing connections.

Build and maintain a mental wellbeing routine

Create a mental fitness practice that’s uniquely yours in Routine. More than a daily reminder, Routine allows you to build a custom mental fitness plan with multiple sessions. You can set reminders for your Routine on days and times that fit in with the rest of your life to support achievable habits.

Track your progress

See how you’re tracking on the Fitness tab, including what skillsets you've engaged with, how often you're practising, and visualise your moods over time. Reflecting on the skills you’re building can help turn small actions into lasting mental fitness habits.

Designed for minds of all ages and stages

There’s a range of resources to build and maintain mental fitness from early childhood to adulthood, with collections and pathways suitable for children all the way through to adulthood, and sessions that take you from beginner practice to everyday habits!
