What is Braidy®?Braidy® offers fun, colourful, multi-sensory toys and resources that help children aged three to 16 (and adults) organise and share their thoughts and feelings so they can communicate when under pressure or in conflict. Braidy® aims to improve mental health across Australasia by supporting families, groups, and individuals of all ages to live calmer, supported, and healthy lives through a proven storytelling methodology.

Who can use Braidy®?Everyone! Designed to build the oral language foundations of literacy for speaking, listening, reading, and writing, Braidy® helps all children (aged 3-16) and the adults in their lives. With Braidy®, parents, educators, and mental health professionals feel empowered to help children organise their thoughts, identify their feelings, resolve conflict, reduce anxiety, process trauma, make plans, and find solutions to problems. Because Braidy® helps children process thoughts and emotions in a calming way, it can be especially beneficial for children on the autism spectrum, with learning challenges, or those anxious to communicate.
