SoundSmiles | digital platform for mental & hearing health of Indigenous children

SoundSmiles
Strong Hearing | Strong Culture

The app aims to provide a streamlined, digitalised platform for children and teachers to be better informed about children’s hearing health and mental health, particularly in Indigenous communities. In the future, this will extend to parents/guardians and clinicians.

The app is aimed at primary school-aged children and will provide interactive, engaging and easy-to-view resources about hearing health and mental health, and provide a tool for teachers to be informed about their class’s health.
