The Moodsters to Expand Emotional Well-Being Content Through PlaySpace Health Collaboration

The Moodsters Children's Foundation has announced a collaboration with PlaySpace Health to integrate its emotional intelligence characters and curriculum into PlaySpace's HIPAA-compliant digital platform. This partnership aims to provide healthcare providers, educators, parents, and practitioners with access to The Moodsters' evidence-based tools for supporting children’s emotional well-being.

"For more than 35 years, The Moodsters have been helping children navigate the world of emotions and resilience," says Denise Daniels, RN, MS, creator and founder, The Moodsters Children's Foundation. "These colorful characters are effective because they speak the language of children – play. Our partnership with PlaySpace Health represents an exciting new chapter – the ability to engage with our characters and curriculum in virtual and in-person, digital play therapy environments. Together, we can reach more children who need help understanding and managing powerful emotions like sadness, fear, anger, love, happiness, anxiety and hope. The Moodsters' proprietary curriculum was developed in collaboration with Marc Brackett, PhD and Robin Stern, PhD, and aligns closely with the RULER model from The Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence."

PlaySpace Health’s platform is designed to address the engagement challenges faced by mental health providers working with children. The Moodsters’ content will be integrated into the platform, offering interactive, gamified activities that promote emotional awareness, self-expression and coping skills.

We are honored to collaborate with The Moodsters Children's Foundation to create interactive experiences designed specifically for safe, compliant pediatric settings. The Moodsters’ interactive content and emotional literacy resources will be woven into animation on the PlaySpace virtual platform, giving children access to fun, age-appropriate, and gamified digital activities that encourage emotional awareness, self-expression and healthy coping skills. Mental health professionals will incorporate The Moodster characters into customized, individualized virtual therapy and counseling sessions."
