The science behind the training

IncludeMe was developed by Iris the Dragon, a Canadian social enterprise specializing in mental health education for schools, the workplace, and communities. The app employs their narrative formula that has been empirically validated by the Mental Health Commission of Canada for its effectiveness in changing attitudes towards those with mental health concerns.

Queen’s University is studying the app and we encourage all participants to take the advanced survey. Survey results will be shared in 2019. Connect with Iris the Dragon to receive IncludeMe marketing collateral or to discuss white-label licensing opportunities for enterprise-level role out of IncludeMe training.
