Koko: Harnessing Digital Platforms to Support Youth Mental Health
Koko is a nonprofit organization that leverages digital platforms to provide free, evidence-based mental health interventions for youth, aiming to address the youth mental health crisis.
Detailed Introduction
Koko is dedicated to supporting youth mental health by working with major digital platforms to offer free, evidence-based interventions. The organization uses keyword detection and targeted ad placement to intercept young people in need of help and redirects them to free helplines, peer support, or self-help courses. Koko's mission is to meet young people where they are, ensuring they receive the support they need through the platforms they already use. This approach is supported by partnerships with leading online platforms and endorsements from experts like Dr. Matthew Nock from Harvard.
