Now as a psychologist and school counsellor, she wants to make sure that support is always available for teens who are struggling.
In 2012, she co-created a positive youth development service where her team delivers in-school programmes and support for at-risk teens across Hong Kong.
However, she began to realise that in-person psychological services are limited in scale, leaving many students’ needs unmet. To address this, Jamie founded LULIO in 2015 to create technology that makes psychology scalable by gamifying a proven group counselling program she created and developing a video game that detects suicide risk through gameplay behaviour analysis.
