Life is the biggest game. Play for your future.
SkillzU is the educational game that promotes the emotional well-being of youth through technology. SkillzU helps them to discover their skills and abilities to reduce stress and improve their mental health.
The data on youth mental health is clear:
Adolescents in risk of depression (WHO-global & UNICEF)
of youth show mental health disorders before the age of 18 (worldwide)
of youth wished their own death in 2021 (Spain – La Rioja University)
SkillzU is dealing with a problem of global impact in health and education.
Why SkillzU?
EDUCATIONAL SERIOUS GAME
SkillzU is an educational game that promotes the mental health of young people under the SALUTOGENESIS paradigm, that is, those factors that are the origin of health and not those that generate disease.
WE WORK TOGETHER WITH TUTORS & TEACHERS
To support Education we do not only serve youth but guide educators to provide them with tools and programs to handle with stress and improve emotional and mental wellbeing of young people.
At SkillzU’s heart: there is ultimate technology serving people
Empowering and Activating Adolescents to take ownership of their Mental Health through an innovative, measurable and scalable digital solution that:
- Developped with a unique methodology based on GAMEFUL experience, it helps young people discover and enhance their skills, assets and abilities to reduce stress, anxiety and improve their mental health.
- With the Brain Health Indicator (BHI): Applying advanced AI and data models, we developed the salutogenic metric to provide personalized guidelines and continuity learning to youth and educational centers.
- We generate new knowledge around mental and brain health: Through research and data, we create new evidence to generate publications on the new paradigm of Salutogenesis.
