OurHerd is a storytelling app that empowers young people to share lived experience stories and use their collective voices to create a more mentally healthy world.
Mental health is one of the biggest issues for young people, but fear and stigma leaves us feeling alone in our struggles, unable to speak up and disempowered to seek help.
By sharing stories, we can empower each other with hope and knowledge, whilst using our voices to drive change. OurHerd captures powerful data and story insights and acts as a megaphone for young people to inform governments, policy makers and service providers on better mental health outcomes.

Informing and leading actionable change

Love this. Love the fact you can share your own story as well as seeing others. And how it helps to show you are never alone and other people have gone through things as well and come out of the other side. ❤

This is one of the few apps where I actually feel better after spending heaps of time on it! The powerful lived experience stories that help ignite positive conversations around mental health and the ease in navigating the different features makes this a 5 star app.

As a psychologist and mental health advocate, this is simply the best. Real people sharing real stories and smashing the stigma. If you’ve ever felt you’re the only one struggling, download this app and watch a few stories and I guarantee you’ll feel less alone and more hopeful.
