Calm Keeper

Panic attacks can be treated and your mind can be put to rest with the right tools. CalmKeeper is a way of putting those tools in your hands. CalmKeeper provides immediate access to tools that will help you cope in a panic attack. It also helps you learn about panic. Understanding how panic works is the first step to overcoming it.

We know that people who get panic attacks gain confidence with incremental improvements in managing their situation. Because CalmKeeper is discreet, private and can go everywhere, we think people will feel comfort knowing that help is in their pocket or purse (Calmkeeper.com, 2016).

Pacifica

We know first-hand how difficult and personal anxiety can be. We’ve been there ourselves. At best, it’s annoying and unpleasant. At worst, it’s debilitating and isolating. We also understand how challenging it can be to get proper care. It’s expensive, time consuming, stigmatized and for many, just not available.

That’s where Pacifica comes in. Founded in 2014, we’re a devoted team in San Francisco building a self-help app for anxiety. Based on cognitive behavioral therapy combined with relaxation and wellness techniques, we believe in holistic daily tools aimed at breaking the anxiety cycle. We’re not about quick-fixes or false promises. We are about real progress, a day at a time.

Simply put, it’s our mission to help those with anxiety by giving them the most effective and empowering tools available. We hope you’ll join us; we’re just getting started (thinkpacifica.com, 2016).
