Revolutionary, Preventative Mental and Behavioral Health Solutions for Children and Their Families.
Creating healthier digital habits and fostering stronger family connections.
At the Mindful Media Foundation (MMF), we are committed to a revolutionary, systems-based approach to promoting preventive mental and behavioral health for children (ages 0β12) and their families. In todayβs digital world, children are exposed to screens and interactive media from an early age, which can greatly impact their mental, emotional, and social well-being.
We develop and support playful solutions that address these challenges by empowering families with trusted, evidence-based tools that foster healthy screen habits, strengthen family bonds, and support holistic child development. By focusing on early intervention, we set children on a path toward lifelong well-being and resilience.
The Challenge
βToday, children spend an average of 7+ hours daily in front of screens, with a majority of parents expressing concerns about the mental and emotional impacts of excessive screen use.β
Childrenβs increased exposure to digital media can lead to a range of challenges that disproportionately affect children ages 0β12, including:
Attention difficulties
Social Isolation
Sleep disorders
Anxiety
Depression
Reduced caregiver interaction
While pediatric hospitals and care providers play a vital role in supporting childrenβs mental health, they often face barriers such as:
Limited scalable, preventative resources
Challenges engaging families in diverse communities
Gaps in outreach to help families mange screen time effectively
Without accessible and engaging tools rooted in early intervention, families lack the comprehensive support they need to navigate digital wellness at home.
Our Approach
To address this urgent need for preventive, early-stage intervention, the Mindful Media Foundation has pioneered a revolutionary, systems-based approach in collaboration with world-renowned doctors and researchers. Our model integrates three key pillars that work in tandem to transform mental and behavioral health outcomes for children ages 0β12:
Technology
Interactive, HIPAA-compliant tools co-designed with pediatric healthcare experts to help families establish positive media habits from the earliest stages of development.
Research
Evidence-based programs, grounded in developmental psychology, child neurology, and behavioral health, designed to align with pediatric healthcare standards.
Interactive Media
Engaging co-viewing and co-play programming, developed through our media arm Immersiva, that fosters family bonding, promotes positive screen interactions, and supports age-appropriate media use.
How It Works
Immersiva, our media arm, reimagines passive screen time as interactive, developmental adventures for children and caregivers alike.
By combining thoughtful AI with second screens, our programming integrates seamlessly with streaming platforms, transforming screen time into an active, co-viewing experience that engages both children (ages 0β12) and their caregivers.
Instant Access: A simple QR code scan on any smartphone or tablet activates an interactive guideβno mobile app download required.
Engaging Game Play: Families enjoy activities like scavenger hunts, trivia, word games, and imaginative play, cultivating social, emotional, and academic skills while promoting healthy digital habits.
Our approach makes screen time a memorable, purposeful experience, nurturing stronger family connections through shared play and active learning.
