The Coram Innovation Incubator is delighted to be joined by special guests from Mind of My Own and myHappymind to talk about their innovations for children’s mental health, wellbeing and participation.
Mind of My Own
We will be joined by Jill Thorburn, Founder and Director of Mind of My Own.
Before Mind Of My Own the world of children’s participation was lacking digital tools, despite the ever growing popularity of tech among young people. Mind of My Own innovated the first digital tool to capture children’s voices and since the initial prototype (now evolved as the One app) they have continued to introduce change and new ideas. In 2017 they launched their second app, Express, for children with additional needs and in 2022 they released Xchange for young people in youth justice. Their partners in innovation are their users – children, young people and the adults who work with them.
The latest tool from Mind of My Own, My Best Life, is a digital solution to the one-stop shop that enables children and families to tailor content precisely to their needs, pointing them to relevant support services in their area and offering useful information. A true digital family hub, signposts to all your children and families’ services from one place, with the ability to display your local offers, housing, health and wellbeing services and many more.
