We are thrilled to introduce Tirohia, a cutting-edge research platform and suite of digital tools designed to revolutionize the field of youth mental health research. Developed by a team of dedicated researchers including Karolina Stasis, Tania Cargo, Sally Merry, Sarah Hopkins, Sarah Herrick, Jim Warren, and Chester Holt-Quick, Tirohia aims to improve the mental health and well-being of young people, particularly rangatahi.
At the core of Tirohia is an intuitive interface that empowers researchers to create customized surveys and trials, gathering specific feedback on digital interventions and games. This real-time tracking of participant engagement provides valuable data-driven insights, enabling evidence-based approaches to promoting mental health interventions.
One of the key strengths of Tirohia is its emphasis on collaboration between researchers and organizations. By fostering these partnerships, the platform seeks to create meaningful change in the lives of young individuals. Thanks to the support of key funders like A Better Start, and MBIE, Tirohia is now available for general use.
We believe that Tirohia will play a pivotal role in advancing the understanding and effectiveness of digital interventions for youth mental health. With this powerful platform, we can collectively pave the way for a brighter and healthier future for the young generation. Together, we can embrace evidence-based practices and unlock the potential to positively transform the mental well-being of our youth.
