Introducing Ripple: A New Mental Health App for Young People

Feb 17
We're thrilled to share an exciting new development from the Wavemaker team: Ripple, our brand-new web app created to support young people in managing their mental health and wellbeing.

Developed in collaboration with NHS Combined Healthcare and Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT), and generously funded by the Community Foundation, Ripple is more than just an app - it’s a stepping stone towards brighter, healthier futures.

Designed with Young People in Mind

Mental health matters. We know that for many young people, particularly those navigating the shift from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) to Adult Mental Health Services (AMHS), it can be a time of uncertainty, anxiety, and change. Ripple has been thoughtfully designed to help make that transition smoother.

Whether you’re waiting for services, have recently transitioned, or simply want to take better care of your wellbeing, Ripple provides a safe space full of resources, activities, and advice tailored to the challenges young people face today.

What’s Inside Ripple?

Ripple brings together a range of tools and content to support mental wellness, self-awareness, and positive habits. Some of the key features include:

Interactive Tools
Engage with calming and focus tools like Ripple Breath, Ripple Jar, and Ripple Spinner to help regulate emotions and build mindfulness.

Self-Care Tips
Learn everyday strategies to support your mental well-being from better sleep habits to digital detox tips and mood boosters.

Transition Guidance
