Individual emotional dysfunction is at the root of most social, political, relational, economic, social, and mental health challenges. Wellbeing initiatives are often expensive, complicated, reliant on professionals, and ill-suited to the immediate problems to be solved. Switch addresses all these concerns, turning emotions into superpowers and providing the antidote to mental health challenges.
Students do check-ins (usually habit stacked onto roll call, entering the classroom or the start of a particular subject) that track tiredness, emotion, emotional intensity and whether they want to talk to their teacher. This data is only shared with their immediate teacher and/or anyone in their trusted circle of adult helpers (this could include social workers, teacher-aides, Chaplins, Guidance officers etc...) to give teachers an 'emotional weather map' of their classroom in realtime, and create longitudinal data and insights. We have then built our own AI (predictive algorithms) that nudge students and teachers to psychologically proven 'things-to-do' that will likely work for the individual or class based on data and app behaviour. Intuitive design also allows for simple self discovery and action based learning. Teachers can access hundreds of lesson plans, videos and extra resources (including posters, e-books and hard copy activity sheets) in a way that is simple and intuitive.
Predominantly word of mouth, school presentations and web searches. We also sponsor principals networks and education conferences, where they will often have the founders either MC the conference or present keynote addresses on emotional health and psychological practice in the classroom. Our unique emotion wheel which arranges emotions to mean different levels of intensity has been hugely successful, practical and impactful. This practical impact has fuel strong word of mouth, and a very committed supporter base, that is resulting in sustained steady growth.
