Download the free Gheorg colouring in book for Gheorg's first birthday!

Gheorg has been available to download for an entire year!

Since launching, Gheorg has been downloaded thousands of times by families around Australia.

As of 17th Sept 2021, the Gheorg app has been available on the app stores for a full year!

Gheorg founder and psychologist, Dr Louise Metcalf came up with the idea for Gheorg when she realised more kids needed support with their mental wellbeing.

Since Louise had the idea in 2015 and development started in 2019, the Gheorg app has been co-designed with over 800+ Australian children.

Dr Louise Metcalf, psychologist and founder of Gheorg says:

“As Gheorg grows, now helping hundreds of children around the world, we are keeping our focus on what truly matters - the children and families and actually solving the problems they face.”

Why the Gheorg app exists

The Gheorg app is designed to fill that gap between a teacher or parent noticing that a child has anxiety and then the treatment being provided by a psychologist.

Gheorg was created by the psychologist, Dr Louise Metcalf.

Throughout her 30 years as a psychologist, Louise knew that rates of anxiety were slowly increasing.

But it was after she had her own child and she started speaking with early childhood educators, then she realised just how important it is to teach kids about their mental health.

Gheorg has been designed for 7-12 year olds currently as the app requires some ability to read and write, but we are working hard to make Gheorg available for older and younger kids.

Our dream is to make Gheorg available to all kids in Australia to empower kids with awareness around their emotions and mental health.

Anxiety can have a big impact on kids throughout their lives. Anxiety is a serious health issue in Australia. Anxiety can have serious lifelong impacts which can include learning challenges, interpersonal challenges, career challenges and mental health challenges.

The Gheorg app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
