A Shared Journal
Jot Journal is a shared journal between an adult and a youth. Pass the journal back-and-forth at your own pace — responding to one question at a time.
Grounded in mental health research
Jot Journal is divided into five sections to help youth thrive. Each section is rooted in supporting youth development.
Structure + Flexibility
Jot Journal’s format provides a creative vessel for connection by balancing structure + flexibility to foster a fun routine of curiosity, discussion, and gentle challenge.
Here’s how it works.
Pass back-and-forth
The pass back-and-forth format makes Jot Journal a powerful vessel for connection by creating space for YOUTH and ADULTS to ponder writing prompts related to:
Connection is protective.
When youth feel connected to at least 1 adult in their lives, they are able to weather challenges because of the care, support, and guidance the adult provides.
Jot Journal increases protection for youth through its innovative format and engaging application of research.
