Mental health
Addressing mental health can be a difficult challenge. Luckily, our Changemakers community has responded by presenting groundbreaking innovations to keep every individual healthy and strong. These winners were selected by the online community as two of the best solutions in improving mental wellbeing.
A Simple Approach to Family Health
Preventative mental health care is now more accessible thanks to the Family Coaching Clinics. Winner of the Disruptive Innovations in Health and Health Care: Solutions People Want competition, Family Coaching Clinics offers a series of targeted coaching sessions to help families craft a more individualized approach to mental support, allowing children to make healthy transitions from infancy to adolescence.
By positioning clinics in shopping malls, mental health care needs are placed at the forefront, de-stigmatizing mental health and putting early intervention, treatment and education within reach.
Gaming for Life
It’s tough being a teen, but there’s a new online game that helps young adults cope with life’s challenges. Very few young people receive proper guidance and support, leaving them to turn to the internet for answers.
Reach Out! Central, winner of the Why Games Matter: A Prescription for Improving Health and Health Care competition, was developed as an interactive and therapeutic learning tool to encourage young people ages 16 to 25 to deal with issues such as depression and anxiety by working through real-life scenarios.
Reach Out! Central’s simulated reality gaming follows a flexible storyline that allows users to interact with friends and family, track their mood, and stay on top of their progress.

I found a program (alternative medicine) that can heal disease and my son, Jesse, age 16 and I are testimonials. He was cured of bipolar, schizophrenia and ADHD and I had several medical problems myself. I published his story in Ezine Articles, and you can learn more details about his recovery on the website www.cureadhdbipolar.net.

Sometimes the hand dealt to a young man in mental ill-health is raw. After about three years of a down-ward spiral of increasing isolation, I was hospitalised with florid symptoms. Early in my stay I underwent a frenzied attack from a Patient who later declared that he was hearing Voices. Thereafter I lived in terror, firstly of a prolonged stay in that hospital, and later at the prospect that I might ever be re-hospitalised in the future. This did happen, but my oppressors were more subtle and I was more seasoned into what I could expect, so I was out again within a month. The consequence of this terrorisation brought on an unnatural conformity which meant I was taking inappropriate medicines with side-effects which nullified my creative faculties and functioning, limiting all scope for restitution after illness. I served time in a sweat-shop on lamentable wages for 15 years. It took the intervention of a kindly female consultant who reassessed me and placed me on more appropriate medication which restored to me my faculties and despite persisting symptoms, nothing present could be said any more to be not part of my make-up. How ordinary people view such experiences is the main cause of my continuing concern. Are people like me Really non-people who do not matter - for whom our passing is of 'no consequence'?? I believe not, and am determined to secure a level playing field in the regard that people with mental health needs are held in wider society, with equal opportunities and due respect for our strengths and attainments against extraordinary odds.
