Who we are

Founded in 2024, Nido Labs is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social innovation lab dedicated to advancing mental health and education through transformative, human-centered solutions.

We recognize there isn't a single solution to transforming mental healthcare. Real, meaningful change requires creative approaches and multiple simultaneous strategies.

We focus on three key areas:

  • Developing cutting-edge products that fill critical gaps in mental health care.

  • Partnering with schools and community organizations to expand our reach.

  • Reshaping cultural narratives around mental health and wellness.

To fulfill this mission, we start by equipping young people with social-emotional skills and accessible mental health tools. This helps them build stronger foundations for a healthier, more fulfilling future. Through early intervention, we reduce the risk of future crises while creating opportunities for life-changing interventions.

Through our work with youth and education, we're building a future where mental health care is universally accessible, stigma-free, and empowering—creating lasting positive impacts for generations to come.

What Is a Social Innovation Lab?

A social innovation lab is a dedicated space designed to foster new, creative solutions to complex social problems by encouraging collaboration, experimentation, and a human-centered design approach.

Key features of a social innovation lab include:

  • Diverse Stakeholders: We unite clinical experts, technologists, educators, and people with lived experience to co-create practical solutions.

  • Experimentation and Iteration: We test multiple approaches and adapt based on feedback to find effective solutions.

  • Root-Cause Focus: We address underlying systems to create lasting transformation rather than temporary fixes.

At Nido Labs, we foster innovation through experimentation to drive real impact.
