Our Approach

Better, Together
curaJOY improve families' social and mental health by providing practical and collaborative solutions that are proactive and community-driven. We closely involve clinicians, youth, educators, researchers, and parents to ensure that we address the most pressing issues affecting them.

The global need for behavioral and learning support has climbed significantly, yet the supply, reimbursement and access have not kept up.

People in distress cannot afford to remain on wait lists.  Yet therapists, social workers and counselors are burned out, frustrated by the lack of advancement opportunities and leaving the field, further exacerbating the behavioral healthcare capacity shortage. 

We look at the big picture, take realistic measures, and work towards systemic changes targeting the root of these problems.

PERSON-CENTERED CARE

Effective programs are practical and co-designed with the communities it serves. People should have a voice in creating solutions that help their own communities.

ROOT CAUSE SOLUTION

Poor emotional wellness is at the root of most societal ills. Effective and proactive behavioral health support safeguards our society and future generations.

NO ONE-SIZE FIT ALL

Every child, every parent, and every family is different and has unique needs. There is no single expert, approach, or cookie-cutter miracle program works for everyone.

TECHNOLOGY FOR GOOD

Technology should and can be used for good and the benefit of families’ emotional wellness–to fill in what humans cannot do.

HOW CURAJOY BUILDS PEOPLE AND CHANGES LIVES

Families with school-age children struggle to maintain social and emotional health, and our already-strained behavioral healthcare and education systems cannot adequately support children and their parents. curaJOY unites know-how's from licensed professionals in the fields of psychology, behavior analysis and education, and then uses human-supervised AI/Machine Learning to deliver personalized help when families need them.

Youth-Centric, Relationship–Focused

Emotional wellness is interconnected, but not all families have the resources to develop children’s social-emotional skills. Most current solutions work only with students or parents in silo, missing the chance to heal toxic interaction patterns and prevent Adverse Childhood Events.​

Everyone Deserves to Belong

Providers’ experience, age, gender and ethnicity impact people’s treatment outcomes.  Using 3D avatars, we pair users with virtual coaches who match their demographic traits to boost rapport and feelings of safety quickly. curaJOY’s availability in multiple languages with diverse experts and inclusive content enables all families to connect, feel and function well, regardless of language, race, or income.

24/7 On-going Support for Real Improvements

Weekly therapy sessions can’t create transformations. curaJOY facilitates offline social interactions and the amount of real-life practice necessary for mastering skills like impulse control, problem-solving, making friends, and bouncing back from hardships.  Whether you’re looking to build skills, improve mood, or gain productivity, our continuous practice and reinforcements model brings lasting improvements.

Heal, Grow and Thrive as a Family

Social-emotional skills are better developed at an early age and as a family. Family-based behavior interventions also work better and are longer lasting.
