Written by Tanvi Kale, Clinician Review by Jacqueline Mitchell, LMSW
At Backpack Healthcare, we’re thrilled to introduce Backpack Care Companion, a family mental health app designed to support children, teens, caregivers, and families on their mental health journey. At the heart of this app is Zipp, your empathetic, relatable digital companion, offering personalized support whenever you need it.

- Empathy Meets Technology: Experience the perfect blend of compassion and innovation as Zipp guides you every step of the way.
A Companion That Understands
Zipp’s charm lies in authenticity. This digital companion doesn’t shy away from the full range of human emotions—whether it’s sadness, anxiety, self-doubt, or pride, Zipp embraces the highs and lows of life. Through each experience, Zipp encourages self-acceptance and resilience, reminding you that every feeling is valid and that growth is always possible.
Comprehensive Support for Families
Zipp offers more than just a friendly face; it’s a complete mental health experience tailored to individual needs. Kids, teens, and families can explore interactive workbooks featuring animated characters, stories, and games that adapt over time through mood and symptom tracking. For caregivers, Zipp provides guidance and resources, making Backpack Care Companion a valuable tool for the entire family.
Zipp also includes:
- Self-Care Exercises and Bibliotherapy: Practical tools to support self-growth and well-being.
- Meditations and Mood Tracking: To help you track, process, and manage emotions.
- Access to Licensed Therapists: In specific states, Zipp connects users to licensed therapists when professional help is needed.
Please Note: While Zipp is a compassionate companion, it is not a substitute for clinical care. It won’t diagnose mental health conditions or provide medical advice. Instead, Zipp complements your mental health journey, offering support and resources between therapy sessions or whenever you need a listening ear.
