At Max & Me, we believe every child deserves a buddy when big feelings roll in. That’s why we’ve spent the past two years developing simple, powerful tools to help children grow emotionally strong—starting from the very beginning.

Rooted in trauma-informed care and tested across countries with input from therapists, teachers, parents, and social workers, Max & Me meets children where they are—at home, in schools, clinics, and community spaces.

From playful Paws & Peace Corners in early childhood centres to resilience workshops for tweens and purpose-driven action for teens, Max is there every step of the way. He helps children name their emotions, take action, and calm down—using our gentle PausePad Method as a guide.

Max isn’t just a character—he’s a companion in classrooms, a comfort in clinics, a calm presence in courtrooms, and a cheerleader for kindness and courage.

We’re building a movement of emotional safety and empathy—from toddlers to teens, and even grandparents. Because when we give children the tools to understand themselves, we grow a generation with grit, heart, and hope.
