World’s First
Mental Health Plushies
Weighted Plushies that voice guide through techniques mental health professionals use to help children’s anxiety, worry, panic, fear and grief
The world’s first Calmness Crew mental health plushies for children’s anxiety, were created after my experience as a mum, feeling helpless when our daughter started suffering with extreme anxiety, coming out of lockdown. This journey meant we had to read, listen, learn and try lots of techniques and activities, associated with children’s anxiety, in the hope they would help our daughter leave the house, sit in the car, go to school and not have panic attacks every night. We needed to find as much information on mental health for children’s anxiety and how to calm children when anxious, to try and help improve the situation for our daughter but also for us as parents.
When we came out the other side, I felt I owed it to all others going through this, to share what we had learnt about children’s mental health, as there were so many different ideas, from different websites, books, podcasts etc but a combination of what we tried, seemed to unlock an inner power within our daughter and us!
The Calmness Crew is here as a hub of information and inspiration, to support the emotional wellbeing of children and those who care for them. Through engaging resources focussed on children’s mental health which includes inspiring podcast conversations, and our unique Calmness Crew Mental Health Plushies, we offer practical tools and gentle guidance rooted in mindset, learning and kindness. Whether you're a young person wanting to understand and learn more, a parent, teacher, or carer, The Calmness Crew is your go-to hub for building resilience, connection, and calm for children.
The Calmness Crew Mental Health Plushies and how they can help children’s anxiety when:
- Going to sleep, travelling, car sickness, fear of flying, going to the doctors, dentist, having an operation, going to school, grieving the loss of loved ones or pets or trying new experiences outside their comfort zone.
These mental health plushies can help any situation where children may feel emotions they aren’t used to and can feel overwhelming to them. They may struggle to explain how they feel and unable tell you that they feel anxious, worried, scared or panicked.
How The Calmness Crew is Helping
-
“This should be ranked as the number one tool for helping calm down anxiety and overwhelming feelings, as my son is a completely different child. He was depressed, moody and so stressed and now he comes home listens to his koala and cuddles him. He’s so relaxed and calm. What you’ve created is absolutely amazing!”

“The children love them, the visual representation for emotions and simple and easy to use. The meditation music is perfect, thank you”

“Our koala is an incredible tool and has been transformational at bed time. Our 5 year old has worries when going to sleep and the plushie has changed everything. The words, messaging, badges and techniques made such a difference from first use and bedtime is something he looks forward to now. He is so proud of it, I can’t recommend it enough!”
