Mental health: a strong and lasting intervention is needed in favor of young people with mental problems

The innovative Swiss solution for children's mental health



The mental health of children and young people is a public health issue that deserves a rapid yet sustained response to prevent certain repercussions.
One of the priorities in the short term is to improve the provision of care in this area.
To ensure long-term effects, structural measures, focusing on living conditions and combating various forms of discrimination, are essential.
Furthermore, prevention must be strengthened and early detection and intervention facilitated.
In its latest position, the Federal Commission for Children and Youth (Eidgenössische Kommission für Kinder- und Jugendfragen, EKKJ, in German, or Commission Fédérale Pour l'Enfance et la jeunesse, CFEJ, in French) of the Swiss Confederation formulates a series of recommendations based on the latest scientific knowledge on the subject.
The right of minors to enjoy the best possible state of health, recognized by Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, also includes mental health.

Gamification: it is the use of elements borrowed from games

Gamification: what it is and how it strengthens the user-business relationship



]It's time to dispel the myth that video games are only for young men and women.
Although it is statistically recognized that a boy or girl accumulates over 21 hours of gaming by the age of 10.000, it is equally true that, according to a study on users in the United States in 2021, video games are a universal phenomenon.
In fact, the report revealed that as many as 2,8 billion people around the world are gamers.
What exactly is meant by gamification?
Simply put, it is the art of applying elements of video games into non-gaming contexts, such as websites, online communities, or even everyday business processes.
By intertwining challenges, rewards and competitions, such as points, badges and leaderboards, gamification increases stakeholder engagement, motivation and loyalty.
Gamification can be the glue that binds the corporate Purpose and its Community, another fundamental attribute of Exponential Organizations.
The gamification trend has been boosted by Web3 technologies.
With the advent of Blockchain, Smart Contracts and NFTs, the field of gamification has indeed expanded.
