The support network
that reaches out
when you can't.
When in crisis we lose perspective and feel we are a burden to those we need to reach out to. Justin solves that — a private support network that informs your people when to reach out to you, so you never have to ask.

Asking for help is the hardest part.
When in crisis we lose perspective and feel we are a burden to those we need to reach out to for help. The dilemma for those willing to help is knowing when to offer support. Most mental health apps address the individual in isolation. Justin addresses the network — the people around you who want to help but don't know how.
A personal support network standing by without having to ask for it.
Justin lets you build a private support network of up to 5 trusted people. When you're struggling, Justin informs your support network to reach out — without you having to ask. You stay in control. Your support knows when you need them.
Privacy, control, and proactivity. None offer all three.
Your support network is private and personal — not a group chat.
The user decides when and how their network is informed. Always in their hands.
Justin reaches out to each person in your network individually — not as a broadcast.
Justin encourages your support network to reach out to you proactively.
Personalised video messages from your support people, ready when you need them.

“..we'd be very keen to trial Justin when we start shooting BUMP 4 later this year. And I think it could address individual situations and reduce the stigma attached to mental wellbeing and fatigue.”

Justin is built natively on both iOS and Android with a Google Cloud backend — architected from the ground up to handle the sensitivity and scale that a mental health platform requires.
A growing global crisis. A gap in how we respond.
Mental health conditions affect 1 in 5 adults in Australia and the US, and 1 in 4 in the UK. The economic cost in Australia alone is $10.9 billion per year in lost productivity. Most responses are individual — therapy, apps, hotlines. Justin addresses the network around the individual.
The mission continues.
Justin is live on iOS and Android. The focus is on growing the user community, deepening clinical partnerships, and building the evidence base for Justin as a peer support intervention.
Working with psychiatrists and health institutions to build the evidence base.
