Patrina spent her entire consulting career helping companies bring new products to market until she decided to start her own company. YouRok\u2019s goal is to teach adolescents how to build emotional resilience skills and they do that through a digital care app called K\u2019Bro.

Therefore, digital mental health apps as K\u2019Bro are a very attractive way for children and teens to talk about mental health struggles.<br />\r\n \tThe most sensitive age for adolescents is when they are hitting puberty. That\u2019s the moment when teens are pulling away from parents and trying to figure out who they are as an individual.<br />\r\n \tMost digital health companies like Headspace or Calm focus on adults and not on children or teens.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nLINKS MENTIONED:<br />\r\nPatrina's email<br />\r\nYouRok website<br />\r\nPatrina\u2019s LinkedIn Profile<br />\r\nYouRok LinkedIn Page<br />\r\nK\u2019Bro Instagram<br />\r\nK\u2019Bro Twitter<br />\r\nYouRok Facebook Page","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/57589266-7b98-4e0d-80a9-f2a96f0ed4e1/ep-50-main.png"}
