User reviews

Great family therapy helped us a lot.

The app can use some love but we really liked the goals, the messaging and that you can work together as a whole family. Our therapists were incredible actually, you can tell they are very specialized and really care.

“Journal feature”

Apparently there’s some kind of journal feature my child is supposed to have? Why don’t we have it? He has two tabs, which is goals and home. That’s it. What’s happened? Also the app glitches WAY too much and sometimes says he completed the goal, we approve or whatever, but it doesn’t give his coins. Stupid stupid stupid. Gives too many upset fits to be a “positive mental health app”

Yay

Very fun but definitely a bit hard to use if you’re not on a phone

5 stars!

We love this app. It has been a great tool for us as parents and for our children. Thank you to the Manatee team for doing the hard work - I am with the others and wish this was around when I was a kid.

Communication During Tough Transitions

My husband and I recently got new jobs that require a lot of transition for our little family of three. A friend recommended manatee and said it was really helpful in times of any transition, so we tried it and couldn’t be happier. We are communicating more often and finding our way through tough conversations. Highly recommend!

FAQ

What does Manatee do?

Manatee is a family mental health app designed to help families grow closer and thrive. It offers resources for parents and adolescents to learn about each other, build healthy habits, cope with big feelings, and connect more deeply. The app also facilitates access to licensed therapists and parent coaches.

What are the key features of Manatee?

For families in clinical care, it offers instant messaging with care teams and personalized treatment plans.

How much does Manatee cost?

However, for additional support, there is a Family Care model which involves booking a free consultation, an assessment, and a 6-week care plan that includes therapy/coaching sessions and app integration. Pricing for the Family Care model is not detailed but implies in-app purchases for these services.

Who is Manatee for?

Manatee is for any family that wants to improve their connection and well-being. It is particularly beneficial for families experiencing disharmony, struggling with daily activities, or seeking support for worries about a child's development. It also serves parents who want to be more effective and families looking for professional therapy or coaching.

How do I get started with Manatee?

To start using Manatee independently, download the app and add your children and any co-parents or caregivers to your account. You can then set up goals, rewards, and explore self-guided courses. If you need more support, you can book a free 20-minute consultation with a family expert to discuss the Family Care model.
