    Doctor & NHS Clinical Entrepreneur | Building Orli Health to impact 10 million families & ensure every child can access the mental health support they need | Join the famOrli to book a free session with our clinicians ↓

    POV: you just won a government grant to help build a product to improve the mental health of millions of families 2 years of hard work, sacrifice, mistakes and learnings later, we’ve got our first real break. This bid took weeks to prepare but the feeling yesterday was so worth it. This grant will allow us to: ➡️ Deliver 80 free online events for our community and across schools in the North East ➡️ Develop our initial AI model and prototype to improve access to holistic mental health support for families ➡️ Improve access to professional care for underserved groups ➡️ Create the foundation for us to improve the lives of 10 million families in 10 years While only the first step, it’s so validating to be able to say we won an Innovate UK grant. I’ll keep sharing the ups (hopefully), downs (definitely) and lessons learnt from building Orli with my best mate Euan Bell. Couldn’t do it without you bro - this is just the start.
