## What is Bear Hug?

Bear Hug is a cozy, private space to check in with yourself—without pressure, perfection, or judgment.

Whether your day feels heavy, anxious, confusing, or just “meh,” Bear Hug helps you pause, name what you feel, and take one small step forward. With a soft, friendly bear companion, you can build a simple habit of self-care that actually fits your life.

WHAT YOU CAN DO IN BEAR HUG
• Daily Check-Ins — log how you feel in seconds
• Journaling Prompts — write freely or use gentle guided prompts
• Quick Calm Tools — grounding, breathing, and reset exercises for tough moments
• End-of-Day Reflection — close the day with clarity and kindness
• Crisis-Only Support — fast access to help resources when you need them

DESIGNED TO FEEL SAFE
Bear Hug is built to be simple, comforting, and non-intimidating—like a quiet corner you can return to anytime.

PRIVACY
Your feelings are yours. We aim to minimize what we collect and clearly explain what’s stored and why.

Bear Hug is not a medical device and does not replace professional care. If you’re in danger or considering self-harm, contact local emergency services immediately.
