Brett's project - How might we make mental health first aid accessible to all children in crisis globally?
The hub project was a collaboration with Humanity Crew, a mental health aid organization that prevents trauma with displaced children and their families through emergency psychological interventions and training. They do this by establishing a new narrative in a child’s memory during the golden hour – the first weeks and months of a traumatic event.
The challenge they set was to enable them to scale their intervention beyond their existing team to a global community of trained volunteers.
The resulting project is an open digital platform that trains psychologists in their methodologies & then connects volunteers/actors globally through a connected network. This involved the creation of strategies to form then manage a large-scale community, a suit of supporting digital tools and experience design methods for the community to self-manage overtime. The purpose is to give individuals the training & expertise needed to be effective during a humanitarian disaster in their region.
