“Brilliant”

"Most resources depend on the user to reach out, but Cope Notes actually takes the initiative to meet people where they are. This is arguably the first mobile tool in the mental health arena that's truly interventional. It’s helpful, funny, user-friendly, and always there when you need it."

“I looked everywhere”

"You wouldn't believe how much time and money I've wasted trying to screw my head on straight. My life coach was $125/hr. I'd drop $100 at a bar just to forget how I felt. Wish I found this 9 years ago. THANK YOU for making a tool that actually HELPS."

“I was skeptical at first”

"When my sister signed me up for the free trial, I wasn't convinced. But after a few days of getting the perfect text at EXACTLY the right moment, I was sold. I'm already feeling more like myself. Kinda can't believe it works, tbh."

“Powerful”

"One of the most powerful components of Cope Notes' messages is that they're developed by people with lived experience managing an array of stressors and mental health conditions. Research suggests that peer support is a powerful force in helping people achieve stability and recovery."
