Momentum: a new era in personalised digital mental healthcare for young people

“Young people wanted something to grab them, and not something to make them think that this was a magic treatment program that was going to make everything better strait away. They wanted it to say momentum moving forward.”

Have you ever wondered what your young child or adolescent clients image their mental health care to look and feel like? Now an innovative new digital mental health platform developed by leading Australian mental health experts and co-designed with hundreds of young people, has brought to life that vision of personalised digital care for young people. Momentum is a mental health digital hub that can help young people aged 7 to 17 learn new ways to manage depression, anxiety and common associated difficulties.

In this episode we unpack the evidence behind the program with project lead Professor Sonja March. We delve into it’s key features and how they work from children and teens, and the different ways that health professionals can use the platform with their young clients to get the most out of this exciting new service.
