A dedicated team is developing **Rain and Shine**, a gamified app aimed at boosting emotional resilience in children aged 5 to 11. The app is rooted in evidence-based practices that promote early mental health care, acknowledging the statistic that implementing positive psychology in schools can reduce depression rates by up to 50%. This proactive approach aims to equip children with skills to manage their emotions and challenges before they encounter significant difficulties.
The creators of Rain and Shine believe that mental health should receive the same attention as physical health, which is why they are actively seeking input from the community. Currently, they are hosting online focus groups lasting 30 to 45 minutes, inviting parents and caregivers of children within the specified age range to share their perspectives. These sessions will consist of casual conversations with a small group of 4 to 5 parents, with no preparation or prior commitment required.
Participants in these focus groups will have the opportunity to influence the app’s development directly, ensuring it meets the needs of families. Additionally, those who contribute will gain early access to the app when it launches. This initiative is designed to create a resource that effectively supports children’s emotional wellbeing.
If you are a parent or caregiver of a child aged 5 to 11 and are interested in participating, you can fill out a short form to register your interest. Your feedback could help shape a valuable tool for enhancing mental health in young children.
