In this episode of The Wellness Edit, I sit down with Mirna Mneimneh, the co-founder of Elggo, an edtech platform de-stigmatising the region's attitude to youth's mental health. We dive into how Elggo is changing the game for schools, bringing tailored, bitesize courses to help kids navigate their mental health with confidence and compassion. Tune in for a candid conversation about the future of mental health education and why it matters now more than ever.
What we get into:
- [0:00] Mirna’s journey - from Beirut to building a purpose-led startup
- [5:00] Why 1 in 3 youth are struggling with their mental health, and how traditional schooling plays a role
- [12:30] How Elggo uses AI to support emotional learning, tailored to the Middle East
- [20:45] Breaking the silence around mental health in Arab communities
