How we feel about ourselves, interact with others, and overcome obstacles in life makes an enormous difference in our ability to be happy and to succeed. We refer to this as social and emotional wellness, and 80% of educators believe that it is crucial for academic success.  curaJOY is a 501(c)3 non-profit that leverages cutting-edge technologies and proven science to create root-cause solutions to improve families’ emotional wellness and behavioral healthcare equity.   

At curaJOY, the big picture is everything. When we think big, the next step is to think bigger. The behavioral healthcare system is too fractured to fix itself without visionaries to question and push the status quo. Our vision is so big that it can sometimes be hard to capture and explain: to expand the accessibility of behavioral healthcare to marginalized people and forgotten consumers by taking advantage of technology, developing new technology, and using AI - not to replace providers, but to automate the things they do that can easily be accomplished by a virtual assistant. 

MyCuraJOY is our in-development app that embodies decades of combined behavioral healthcare experience: it will solve accessibility gaps, provide content in the user's primary language, provide HIPAA-compliant clinical data to treating providers, reduce the cost of providing services, and revolutionize research in this area. It's an inclusive digital behavioral health program for all ages that integrates various evidence-based methods, real-world projects and rewards with personalized behavioral support.  Participants chat with virtual mentors who look like them, with their choice of diverse-looking virtual mentors who converse naturally and proactively, understand and remember what users say, and deliver guidance and activities from content created by licensed professionals. We work with all members of the family to identify the functional needs behind challenging behaviors, improve communication, and live in harmony.
