ThinkNinja - Child Wellbeing

Download ThinkNinja with NEW COVID-19 content here:

As a direct response to the COVID-19 crisis we have updated ThinkNinja with specific COVID-19 content. This will bring self-help knowledge and skills to children and young people (10-18 years old) who may be experiencing increased anxiety and stress during the crisis.

The new COVID-19 content provides an opportunity to understand the following:

Fears relating to the virus
Isolation struggles and how to stay connected to family and friends
Worries about personal health and health of family members
Mental strength
Coping techniques to use during the crisis
Plus many other helpful tips

As the coronavirus spead across the UK, the data on daily use of the app increased 168% over five days. This was a significant indication that young people were worried about the virus.

As a direct result we did two things:
1. Added specific content to address worries about Covid19
2. Made ThinkNinja freely available to all young people across the UK

The new content was created by specialist child psychologists and is available from Monday 30th March via the WiseNinja chat main menu.

What is ThinkNinja?

ThinkNinja is an app specifically designed to educate 10-18 year olds about mental health, emotional wellbeing and to provide skills young people can use to build resilience and stay well.

Clinical foundations

ThinkNinja is built on CBT principles, a psychological talking therapy based on the theory that our thoughts, feelings and our behaviour are all connected.

CBT works to help us notice and change problematic thinking styles or behaviour patterns so we can feel better

How ThinkNinja works?

ThinkNinja® addresses a range of issues including stress, anxiety, low mood, or having unhelpful thoughts. All of which can be triggered by the pressures of modern life, such as exams, struggling to make friends or social situations.

The user is coached by the WiseNinja, powered by artificial intelligence and the skills of a clinical psychologist.

Why choose ThinkNinja?

ThinkNinja® is free to download for all children and young people with the correct access code, and can be downloaded via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

How to access ThinkNinja - FREE During the Coronavirus Pandemic

Before coronavirus, ThinkNinja was a commissioned service only, made available in parts of the country through the NHS, schools, local authorities as well as charities working with young people. Access was then provided to all CYP aged 10-18 years old via an access code.

DURING THE CORONAVIRUS, ThinkNinja IS FREELY AVAILABLE TO ALL.

Testimonials

We are so excited about the opportunity this could bring to our young people in Hounslow Schools. Thank you to Healios and HEP for making this happen. It’s over to our schools now to make sure every student knows how to access the help offered by ThinkNinja®.

The consequences of mental illness in children are clear if we don’t take proactive steps. It affects schooling and leads to educational underachievement which has implications for the ability of our pupils to move on to further education and employment. We must look to digital innovations in schools as an important part of our toolkit to bring preventative as well as early help to our pupils, so they have the best chance to fulfil their potential. The ThinkNinja app allows us to get a step ahead and address mental health challenges sooner. Being part of the clinical study to evaluate innovative solutions reflects our commitment to continue to do the best for our pupils.

We have nearly 1,300 pupils at our school and we take mental health and emotional wellbeing very seriously. We’ve taken an important decision to invest as a school in wellbeing support services but we can still go much further. ThinkNinja® is an exciting innovation from Healios and one that complements our existing wellbeing support services to help increase access to evidence-based interventions required by young people through a channel that we know they love to engage through. We’re thrilled to be part of the clinical study to pilot this new app.
