The digital world presents both opportunities and challenges for young people. RaiseWisely and its inaugural eMental Health International Symposium provide a timely forum for evidence-informed discussions on digital wellbeing, mental health, responsible innovation, and technology’s role in young people’s lives, fostering collaboration, understanding, and healthier digital futures.

Prevention is better than cure. As young people engage with technology, evidence-based approaches are needed to prevent harm before it occurs. RaiseWisely helps translate research into practice, ensuring digital technologies are informed by evidence, best practice, and user needs to support better mental health outcomes.

Initiative Overview

The Current Gap

Children and young people are facing rising digital wellbeing challenges linked to AI, social media, gaming, online safety, and emerging technologies. Families, educators, professionals, and policymakers often lack accessible, evidence-informed guidance that translates research into practical action. RaiseWisely addresses this gap by connecting living evidence, practical tools, and cross-sector collaboration to help adults support children and young people in a rapidly changing digital world.

RaiseWisely is convening the RaiseWisely eMental Health International Symposium 2026, bringing together researchers, educators, clinicians, policymakers, community leaders, lived experience leaders, and industry innovators to explore safer digital futures for children and young people.

We welcome opportunities for research collaboration, impact measurement, implementation partnerships, community pilots, policy translation, and cross-sector initiatives that strengthen digital wellbeing, online safety, and responsible innovation across families, schools, communities, and broader society.

Our Solution

RaiseWisely builds on Mirror XR’s whole-of-school foundation and has evolved into a broader digital wellbeing platform supporting safer digital futures for young people across families, schools, and communities. It equips parents, educators, professionals, and community leaders with practical tools, living evidence, and co-designed strategies, while interconnecting research, policy, practice, and innovation through cross-sector collaboration and an intergenerational, whole-of-society approach.

Key Learnings

A primary challenge is the disconnect between innovative interventions, evidence-based knowledge, and policy implementation in a rapidly evolving digital environment. Research, practice, policy, and innovation often progress in parallel, while AI, gaming, social media, and emerging technologies move faster than systems can respond. This creates gaps between what is known, what is developed, and what is implemented at scale, leaving families, educators, professionals, and communities without timely, coordinated, and practical support.
Digital wellbeing challenges cannot be effectively addressed by any single sector, organisation, or discipline alone. The interconnectedness of evidence translation, lived experience, and cross-sector collaboration is not optional or nice to have. It is foundational to system-level change, because lasting impact does not rely on good programs only. It relies on implementability, organisational alignment, and the ability to move credible, contextually relevant evidence into real-world implementation and long-term sustainability.
Digital wellbeing challenges are not confined by geographic boundaries. AI, social media, gaming, online platforms, and emerging technologies shape the experiences of children and young people across countries, cultures, and communities.

International collaboration enables the sharing of evidence, lived experience, implementation insights, and policy perspectives across jurisdictions. It also helps identify common challenges, avoid duplication of effort, accelerate learning, and strengthen collective responses to complex issues that no single organisation, sector, or nation can effectively address alone.

Looking Ahead

RaiseWisely aims to expand its evidence translation, capability-building, and cross-sector collaboration activities through community pilots, research partnerships, impact measurement, and implementation initiatives.

Future priorities include building a strong Communities of Practice, building organisational capability through Community Impact Hubs (Digital Lighthouses) Programs, advancing co-design with young people and lived experience leaders, and fostering international collaboration across research, policy, practice, and innovation. Technology development is being approached as part of a staged change process at an R&D level, ensuring the platform evolves alongside evidence, community needs, and implementation readiness.
RaiseWisely welcomes collaboration with researchers, educators, clinicians, community organisations, policymakers, lived experience leaders, and industry innovators working in digital wellbeing, online safety, mental health, AI, gaming, social media, and emerging technologies. We are particularly interested in research partnerships, community pilots, impact measurement, capability-building initiatives, policy translation, and cross-sector implementation projects.

RaiseWisely’s long-term vision is to become a trusted ecosystem for digital wellbeing, supporting the translation of evidence into real-world capability, implementation, and system-level change. By interconnecting research, policy, practice, innovation, and lived experience,

RaiseWisely aims to strengthen collective capacity to respond to emerging technologies and their impact on children and young people. Through a staged approach to capability building, community implementation, impact measurement, and technology development, RaiseWisely seeks to contribute to safer digital futures that are evidence-informed, contextually relevant, and sustainable.
