Happy Hippo
To a happier you.
Mental wellness, your way. No pressure. No bots. Just peace.
Happy Mind. Happy Life. Happy Hippo.
Hi there!
Hey there. I’m Happy Hippo.
Not a chatbot. Not a brand.
I’m a movement, built by students — for students.
Born in exam season. Raised by burnout. Fueled by real talk.
I’m what happens when tired teens say: “Enough.”
No therapy bills. No pressure to be okay.
Just mood tools, affirmations, and structured chat scripts that talk back to your stress.
Here, it’s okay to panic.
It’s okay to feel stuck.
It’s okay to not smile for the fourth “how are you?” in school.
Because I’m not here to fix you.
I’m here to sit with you.
So breathe.
Then click.
Let’s build mental wellness that doesn’t feel like homework.
— Happy Hippo
About HappyHippo
Who am I?
Happy Hippo is a student-powered mental wellness platform built for school-goers, educators, and exam aspirants navigating the high-pressure world of academics. Created by students who’ve lived the stress, and teachers who’ve seen it unfold, the platform provides structured support through chat scripts, mood trackers, affirmations, and calming tools — all designed to feel safe, simple, and stigma-free.
What I can do for you?
We understand that mental wellness in schools needs more than motivational quotes or last-minute helplines. Happy Hippo creates a space where students can track their emotional health, speak to themselves kindly, and access scripted support during moments of burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. Whether you’re preparing for boards, handling teenage overwhelm, or supporting students as an educator, Happy Hippo is built to be that silent partner who just gets it.
Our journey
We are currently in Phase 1 onboarding for school counselors and wellness coordinators who wish to implement Happy Hippo in their institutions. This version includes early access to our educator dashboards, anonymized well-being insights, and workshop tools. Together, we’re building a culture where mental health is as consistent as morning attendance — not an afterthought.
