HERO CARDS®

Start your child on a heroic journey of emotional health

What are HERO CARDS?

HERO CARDS® are a super-sized deck that kids enjoy alone, with parents, siblings, or teachers.

Introduce your super girls and boys to SUPERPOWERS that teach helpful ways to think and respond to life’s challenges! Because healthy ways to cope with emotions are the most important habits we can teach our children.

Why are these techniques so important?

Child mental health problems are common

1 in 6 children aged 5-16 years are likely to have a mental health problem

The need for help is greater than ever

46% more children on the waiting list for mental health services in 2023 than 2022

Difficulties in adulthood, start in childhood

50% of all mental health problems start by the age of 14

Dr. Emmie, Founder

‘The most important habit we can teach our children is that we are what we think. How we think about things affects everything in our lives. Our relationships, work, our health. But thoughts don’t have to happen to us. We can learn how to think and act in more helpful ways’. 

I believe these important skills should be taught before children experience difficulties with their mental health not after.

Science shows us that children’s brains are highly adaptable. We are never too young to learn these skills. In fact, the younger the better..

That’s where HERO CARDS® come in.

How do HERO CARDS work?

HERO CARDS® are fun and simple as well as easy to remember. Here’s how the different styles of cards work together:

HERO CARDS blend drama and creativity to ignite imaginations while teaching life-changing skills. Each card offers easy-to-follow steps and science-backed techniques to calm the body, sharpen the mind, boost confidence and inspire positive action.

We created HERO CARDS with help from psychologists and feedback from teachers, doctors, child counsellors, behavioural scientists, parents, and most importantly, children!

Helping children cope with anxiety, stress, bullying, worry, low mood. Skills to stay mentally well for life.
