MNTLLY was created by Jeanette Yoffe, M.A., LMFT, a foster-care alumnus, adoptee, and nationally recognized trauma-informed therapist. Growing up in foster care and later being adopted, Jeanette learned early what it meant to navigate fear, sadness, anger, and confusion without support. She needed coping skills long before she had access to them...so she taught herself. Those early experiences became the foundation for her lifelong mission: helping children, teens, and adults understand their emotions and heal.

 

Over the last two decades, Jeanette has worked with thousands of children and families, creating creative, hands-on emotional regulation tools that help people feel safe, calm, and understood. Her best selling book, The Traumatized & At-Risk Youth Toolbox, is used by parents, therapists, educators, and trusted adults seeking effective trauma-informed interventions for kids.

 

Inspired by her own childhood needs and the powerful results she witnessed in therapy sessions, Jeanette took a courageous step: transforming her most effective interventions into physical products anyone can use at home, in schools, or in therapy.

 

Today, MNTLLY proudly offers her first three evidence-informed coping tools:

 

✨ The Anger Bag™ – a hands-on kit to release, express, and regulate big feelings

✨ The Sad Bag™  – comforting supports for grief, loss, and emotional overwhelm

✨ The Stress Bag™  – grounding tools that calm anxiety and help the body reset

 

These products are more than coping skills, they are the tools Jeanette wished she had as a child, now brought to life to help others heal.

 

MNTLLY is driven by lived experience, clinical expertise, and decades of seeing what truly works for kids and adults coping with trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation. Our mission is simple:

 

To create accessible, trauma-informed mental health products that help people cope ever after.
