why I made this

Joy isn't something you wait for. It's something you chase.

By day I work with kids and families, helping them heal and grow. I kept collecting the books, apps, and activities that actually helped, and making my own when I couldn't find the right one. Joy Chaser is where I share all of it, so it can help you too.

Why not just Google it?

You could. But you'd get ads, sponsored lists, and a lot of scrolling. Here's what's different.

1

Picked by a person

Not an algorithm, and not an AI guess. These are real books, apps, and sites, chosen with a social worker's eye.

2

Made to use

Printables, games, and activities you can do today, at the kitchen table, in class, or in a session.

3

Free, no sign-up

Look through everything without an account. Tap the heart on anything to save it on your device.
