The Care Co is an in-classroom social-emotional learning software for K-6 schools that teaches evidence-based mental health habits to students aged 5-12. Following a new ability-based model, we offer:
- Teachers an actionable way to bring mental health education into the classroom by mapping our lessons to local Health subject curriculums;
- Students a self-paced learning tool that allows them to learn evidence-based social emotional skills and knowledge that meet their unique needs;
- Early intervention flagging, well-being tracking, and Health lesson assessment and support;
- A more accessible and cost-effective way to support the next generation to learn fundamental social-emotional skills as part of their core school curriculum.
The Care Co is an SEL (social-emotional literacy) software that teaches kid-friendly, evidence-based mental health activities in the classroom and home. Designed for streamlined classroom use, students can access their dedicated The Care Co profile to self-select mental health lessons and activities to complete (almost!) on their own.
Following a unique ability-based curriculum, students are assigned Bingo! cards that share evidence-based mental health activities for selection and completion in school and at home. Empowering students with choose and enjoy SEL activities that meet their personal learning needs, The Care Co is in the business of:
- Building habits
- Self-empowerment, and,
- Bringing evidence-based SEL lessons to all K-6 schools
The Care Co is launching to K-6 Australian schools to assess the first impact metrics that will help drive the success and impact of our software, including:
- Impact on student mental health levels;
- Impact on mental health and well-being for high-risk students;
- Best practices for high-risk and other student groups; and,
- To begin the process toward a machine learning (M/L) algorithm that will personalise learning plans for all student users.
During this time, The Care Co is preparing to test and launch in:
- New Zealand
- United States
- United Kingdom
- Canada
With research, partnership development, product planning, and strategic initiatives undertaken for new markets across 2024-25.
No. The Care Co acts as a prompt where students choose their daily activity and are guided to complete it offline. This ensures that students engage in activities beyond the digital realm and learn mental health habits they can rely on in everyday life.
We apologise, but we do not currently provide free trials. That said, we definitely recommend scheduling a demo so you can explore and experience the valuable features and benefits that The Care Co has to offer.
Yes. Our philosophy is to design for “the highest risk young people first”. While our platform can be used by all students of every background and ability-level, this means we design for the needs of students with disabilities and students from trauma-informed backgrounds or those with existing well-being challenges. In 2024 The Care Co began testing the accessibility of our software with Australian educators, support workers, and students with disabilities to ensure the appropriateness of our learning tool for each child. The results of this ongoing testing may include additional features, curriculum options, and functionalities to ensure that we continue to be accessible and effective for all student groups.
The Care Co is purposefully designed to cater to the needs of students aged 5-12 and is mapped to Stages e1-3 of the current Australian curriculum.
Unfortunately, no. The Care Co has evolved from 4+ years of work, research, and development and is protected by Australian Intellectual Property law. If you would like to discuss how you can use The Care Co in your classroom, please connect with our team. (We’re both friendly and litigious.)
