What We Do
Running since 2001 across 12 countries.
We develop guided Video Journaling tools for students and teachers to verbalise, self-reflect and find themselves in a safe, judgment-free space.
We provide every student with an authentic time capsule of growing up that raises their EQ along the way.
Increase reach of your wellbeing support with very accessible and affordable verbal journaling technology.
Developed and supported by a global team of neuroscientists, film and documentary makers, engineers, product designers and educators.

Evidence Based Approach
A 2018 evaluation undertaken by StoryQ on The 5000 Days Project participants show that the video journaling process is already helping kids.
Listen here to 5000 Days Project participants discuss their experience using the StoryQ as a place to process their stories.
What Educators are saying…
“By being asked to be self-analytical, students began to process everything that was happening to them in a much healthier and productive way. Instead of being victims of their problems, they were more likely to become masters of them…”
Justin Robinson of GGS in Australia shares his observations on the values of verbal journaling and how the StoryQ is benefiting his students.
Until the 31st May 2019, all eligible schools can join the National Pilot Program providing Teacher and Student access to The StoryQ technology at a subsidised rate.
