curaJOY has announced the late summer release of MyCuraJOY, a wellness platform designed to provide behavioral healthcare services to marginalized children and their families.
—
With the goal of addressing the healthcare inequity that minority groups tend to face, curaJOY has announced its upcoming MyCuraJOY app, which is designed to help schools, behavioral health providers, and other institutions offer social-emotional support to marginalized families. The app will be accessible on all devices.

The announcement follows a recent WHO-led study highlighting the importance of mental health services. According to estimates provided by the WHO, every $1 USD spent on improving treatment for depression and anxiety leads to a return of $4 USD in the ability to work, underscoring the health and economic benefits associated with greater investments in mental healthcare. Additional findings from the study show that mental disorders are increasing worldwide, a fact that curaJOY partly attributes to inadequate care for children belonging to marginalized communities.
Behavior problems in youths are often the result of trauma, abuse, hunger, or developmental delays, and children with underdeveloped social-emotional skills are more likely to be inappropriately assessed for special education services. In particular, BIPOC students tend to be disciplined more harshly and receive exclusionary punishments, which exacerbate these issues, says curaJOY. The organization also cites a lack of resources for non-English-speaking students as another factor in inaccurate evaluations of a child’s development; for example, testing in English may lead to unnecessary special education assessments for Spanish-speaking children.
In order to bridge this gap, curaJOY’s MyCuraJOY app will be available in Chinese and Spanish in addition to English, allowing children from these minority groups to access behavioral healthcare in their native language. The platform’s clinician-created content is built on evidence-based treatments and activities developed by health providers, using a combination of gamification, machine learning, and doctor-supervised conversational AI to complement mental health assessments. As well as helping users track their symptoms and behaviors, establish positive habits and life skills, and earn real-world rewards for progress, the app can be used as a tool to facilitate open communication between family members, as it encourages participation from the whole household.
The announcement reflects curaJOY’s commitment to providing proactive and community-driven solutions for families struggling with mental health. The non-profit organization works closely with clinicians, youth educators, researchers, and parents to address the growing need for behavioral healthcare worldwide.
