DENVER - ColoradoDesk -- With everything happening in the news and in the world, one thing is painfully clear: kids are not okay and mental health care is far from perfect.

That's why Feelings Found is launching The Kids Wheel, a no-fluff, real-world tool to help kids actually understand and express their emotions, before those feelings turn into silence, shutdowns, or meltdowns.

Introducing Our Newest Emotional Wellness Tool

The Kids Wheel was designed during a time when kids' mental health statistics continue to worsen. With war, violence, and global uncertainty dominating headlines, children are absorbing more than we often realize. They need support, and the adults in their lives need tools too.

This isn't an inaccessible, luxury item. It's not a one-size-fits-all worksheet that'll get lost by the end of the day. It's something kids will actually use, because it meets them where they are: overwhelmed, growing, and trying to make sense of it all.

"We're not here to add another trendy toy to the shelf," said Brogan Rossi and Rae Thomas, Co-Founders of Feelings Found. "We're here to give kids something they'll actually use. Something that helps them feel seen, understood, and equipped to handle what's going on inside."

The Kids Wheel is for homes, classrooms, therapy offices, and youth spaces where big feelings show up every day… and real support often doesn't.

Here's How You Can Help

In order to bring this tool to life, we created a kickstarter campaign. Kickstarter is all or nothing. If our goal isn't met, no money is collected and The Kids Wheel doesn't get made. That's why every single pledge and every single share truly matters.

1. Back the campaign: Even $5 brings us closer to the goal.

2. Share the campaign: If you can't give financially, your voice still carries. Share with your network, especially parents, teachers, therapists, counselors, and youth orgs.

Deadline: Thursday, July 10, 2025

This campaign isn't just for parents. It's for teachers, therapists, youth workers, and anyone who believes kids deserve real tools when it comes to emotional wellness. And while donations are deeply appreciated, sharing the campaign is just as important.

"If you can't donate, please share it. Share it like the world depends on it, because honestly, emotional health kind of does."

If we hit our goal, everyone wins. But if we don't, The Kids Wheel won't get made. And we think the next generation deserves better than that.
