Magellan Healthcare Launches Clinically Proven Video Game Solution to Support Emotional Health for Youth

Helping children become stronger than their emotions

Every child faces emotional difficulties and acts up from time to time. It’s part of growing up. But sometimes strong emotions like anxiety and anger can persist, becoming more and disrupting family life. For kids with diagnosed intellectual or developmental disabilities or behavior conditions, this is especially true. Families often struggle to find and access validated treatment programs that can help the child with self-regulation.

When children are struggling with their emotions and families are scrambling to find the right treatment for them, they may utilize inappropriate services or overuse services that are not clinically sound, evidence-based treatments. Family members of these children may also seek services to learn how to cope. These dynamics can quickly and dramatically increase the total cost of care.

A Solution for Child Self-Regulation

Magellan Healthcare’s Emotional Health for Kids by Mightier is an innovative, proven solution to help your members and their families build thriving lives and resilient minds.

Mightier is a clinically proven biofeedback game that helps children who are experiencing anxiety, anger, irritability or other symptoms commonly found in those with:

  • Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
  • Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

Children build emotion regulation skills through play, and caregivers get help in building emotionally healthy homes.
