Check Out TikTok x Department of Mental Health Features to Heal the Mind and Balance Digital Life During Mind Month

TikTok has partnered with the Department of Mental Health to launch the "Mind Moments: My Moments" campaign, inviting Thai people to heal their minds and foster healthy digital well-being through advanced app features designed to sustainably balance social media use.

In an era where social media is part of daily life, taking care of mental health alongside online activity is crucial. Recently, TikTok collaborated with the Department of Mental Health, Ministry of Public Health, to mark Thailand’s Mind Month by launching the "Mind Moments: My Moments" campaign, encouraging users to relax, reset their mood, and develop balanced digital habits.

This campaign highlights the Time and Well-being feature, developed under the Safety by Design concept, transforming the app into a safe zone space for users to care for their mental health.

A closer look at six tools within the Time and Well-being feature that lifestyle enthusiasts must try.

TikTok is committed to providing tools that help users manage their time and build positive discipline independently. The main functions within this feature include the following:

• Screen Time: A tool to monitor and manage daily app usage duration to appropriate levels.
• Affirmation Journal: A space to set daily goals with over 120 positive message cards available for download or sharing to spread encouragement.
• Soothing Sounds: A collection of natural sounds such as rain, waves, and white noise that help adjust mood and reduce stress during the day.
• Breathing Exercises: Guided exercises focusing on breathing, a simple and highly effective technique to improve mindfulness and concentration.
• Well-being Missions: Fun activities that encourage especially young users to engage with technology purposefully, rewarding them with badges to foster long-term positive habits.
• Creator Guides: A hub of video content from creators worldwide sharing practical advice on effective mental health care.

Additionally, for modern families, the Family Pairing feature allows parents and children to connect and set appropriate safety settings together.

How to activate the Time and Well-being feature to care for your mental health.

Any user can easily start managing their digital well-being by following these steps:

1. Go to your Profile page.
2. Tap the three-line menu icon at the top right corner.
3. Select Settings and Privacy.
4. Choose Time and Well-being to begin your mental health care mode.

Expert perspectives: Digital well-being begins with ourselves.

Chanida Klaipan (Director of Public Policy, SEA TikTok) stated that lasting fun and creativity require safety. The Safety by Design philosophy is central to developing this feature so users, especially youth, can live balanced digital lives.

From a medical viewpoint, Dr. Woratom Chotipittayason, a child and adolescent psychiatrist and spokesperson for the Ministry of Public Health and Department of Mental Health, noted that digital well-being is not just about reducing screen time but having tools to care for oneself at any moment. Integrating breathing exercises and sound therapy directly into the app makes mental health care more accessible.

Digital native creator and modern mom Taem-Kulisara Ninernnon from the channel 'Family An An Un Un' shared that she uses Soothing Sounds and Breathing Exercises to reset her mood and practice mindfulness before work or childcare, emphasizing that modeling these habits lays a foundation for digital hygiene for her children.

This collaboration with the Department of Mental Health will include proactive activities throughout May 2026, such as the "Mental Health is Now" panel discussion, "Mind Café - Heart Talks"—a five-day series across five cafes in Bangkok streamed live on TikTok Live—and the creation of a Content Hub featuring practical short videos on mental health knowledge.
