This Mental Health Training Through Sport Program has been developed with NSW Health and Headspace Bondi by using sport to teach mental health training.
By using sport, we show kids how to manage common challenges, including:
We’re a small team of researchers, teachers and engineers working to close the gap between evidence and practice.
By bringing together experts from multiple fields, gamifying their research and teaching through play, we hope to give every child the opportunity to optimise their development.
Our current project is all about making mental-health training a fun, effective part of every child's education.
Our Current Project:
We're building a motion-controlled video game that guides players through a gamified process of habit formation, equipping children with the skills to train their mind and body early in their development.
It's our most ambitious project so far and one we believe can ensure every child has the ability to care for their mind and body as they grow.
It's framed by the academic research underpinning all of our work.
It integrates the experiential mental-health training we've been running for the past 4 years.
Players build skills using the computer-vision technology - try it now
I believe the game can be a really useful tool that proactively equips children with skills we know they need, but so often don't have when challenges arise.
We'd love you to join us on the journey to make mental health training child's play.
Best Wishes
Jamie
