Covert Mental Help (CMH)

The challenge

There are adolescents and young adults who are in dire need of mental healthcare, but live in socio-economic environments that do not offer support or opportunity to get help. So, even if they want to seek help, they have no or limited resources for mental healthcare in their vicinity, no support in their social circles and/or no personal space. Which makes having phone calls or face-to-face therapy practices impossible.

The solution

A (free) mental health app that is hidden behind a game interface. It will provide real-time help in the shape of text conversations. The goal is to safely provide people with tools , such as healthy coping mechanisms, to function in daily life. In the long run, we want to incorporate psychological therapy models, including traditional conversation-based practices as well as digital therapy models by using audio guides, AI, VR, and more.
