With early investors like Jessica Alba and Cash Warren, Jared Leto, Ryan Seacrest and LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, Headspace has a long line of influential backers. Now, one of the most widely used online mental health resources, Headspace is offering free self-care support for post-election stress.

At the heart of the 2010-founded web service and mobile app are short guided meditations, with a recent foray into one-on-one coaching, yoga and fitness, sleep guidance and focus playlists curated by John Legend and beyond and a wide array of stress-relieving exercises. And amidst the election chaos, Headspace is not only offering a free toolkit and election season survival guide, but also a free 14-day trial to experience all the service has to offer, from sleep resources to mindfulness tools.

Headspace’s Politics Without Panic toolkit is curated by meditation teachers and trained mental health coaches. Users can take a short quiz to find out how election stress has manifested for the individual, and take advantage of corresponding resources, including expert-led meditations geared towards soothing the anxieties of political change.

For access to all Headspace has to offer, the 14-day trial is an easy entryway. After that, the annual subscription is $69.99 per year ($5.83 per month) and the monthly subscription is $12.99 per month. Learn more about the plans and sign up for a free trial at headspace.com.
