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.
