According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in six children aged 6-17 experiences a mental health disorder each year, yet over 60% of youth with depression do not receive treatment. The American Academy of Pediatrics has declared a national emergency in children’s mental health, citing the growing demand for behavioral and social-emotional support in schools. Educators and clinicians are overwhelmed by the backlog of Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and special education (IEP) evaluations, delaying critical interventions for students with behavioral health challenges, ADHD, autism, and learning disabilities. In response to the mental health crisis, which disproportionately impacts children in marginalized demographics, the organization has developed an AI-driven customer experience (CX) solution that leverages Twilio’s platform to facilitate timelier interventions and make behavioral health support more readily available.
Using Twilio’s AI CX omnichannel engagement technology, curaJOY is enhancing real-time, AI-driven mental health support on Discord, Instagram, and other instant messaging and SMS platforms to reach youths in distress. These services will also improve accessibility for families struggling with Medicaid and special education (IEP) processes and reduce clinical backlogs for both clinicians and educators.
Additionally, curaJOY’s technology will support a greater capacity for functional behavior assessments (FBA) and other psychoeducational assessments mandated by IDEA, providing educational institutions with the means to identify the root causes of behaviors that impair learning rather than resorting to suspensions or expulsions. The organization's latest trials have shown that its AI-powered platform outperforms PhD-level clinicians in behavioral analysis, achieving 90% accuracy in identifying functions of behavior, compared to 50% in traditional methods.
curaJOY will also be featured on Twilio’s Transform Together, a series of live events focusing on AI innovators and customer engagement. During the event, the organization is set to showcase its latest developments, including an AI-powered social impact model designed to bridge the gap between behavioral health, education, and engagement. curaJOY also has plans to discuss ethical AI use in healthcare and education with industry leaders and policymakers and will explore strategic partnerships to expand its reach in Medicaid-covered regions and marginalized communities.
