Friends for every wave

Meet the
Comfort Crew.

Eight ocean friends with simple, affirming reminders for big feelings, busy bodies, brave moments, and everything in between.

Meet every friend
The JASE Foundation Comfort Crew together beneath the ocean

Comfort without correction

Every feeling has a place here.

The Comfort Crew gives children and families friendly language for regulation, self-advocacy, movement, focus, and emotional safety. They don’t ask children to hide who they are. They remind them that their needs make sense.

You may meet the Crew in JASE Comfort Kits, family resources, events, and activities created to make support feel more familiar and less clinical.

The whole crew

There’s a friend for every kind of day.

Big feelings are okay

It’s okay to need space

Coral shows us that asking for space is a healthy way to care for ourselves—not something we need to apologize for.

Move your energy

Ziggy knows bodies need to move. Stimming, stretching, jumping, and wiggling can help energy find somewhere to go.

Moxie the Axolotl

You’ve got this
