Helping students thrive at university
Brain in Hand's coaching app puts neurodiversity and anxiety support in students' pockets, so it's there when they need it most. With personalised strategies and 24/7 support, they can perform at their best.
Support for students at every stage of university
More than half of neurodivergent students experience anxiety or depression, and 36%* of autistic students drop out. Traditional support systems often miss the moments that matter most.
Brain in Hand offers 24/7 access to strategies and human support – right from their pocket.
Personalised support, wherever it’s needed
Every student using Brain in Hand works 1:1 with a specialist coach to build practical, personalised strategies. These are accessible through the app, with real human guidance just a tap away.
