扩大美国数字健康基金规模
在当今时代成长,意味着生活在一个互联互通的世界中。我们相信,每个孩子都应能在技术辅助下,安全地在线学习、探索和成长。为了引领这一方向,我们将美国数字健康基金增至超过5000万美元,以支持培养更健康、更具韧性的新一代儿童和青少年。
由于网络安全是共同责任,我们支持儿童发展与心理健康专家为家庭提供资源,并为所有人构建安全的数字生态系统。以下是我们基金已取得的成果:
- 《亮点》杂志为全国100万名二至五年级学生提供培训,帮助他们成为具备素养的数字公民。
- 美国女童子军教会女孩如何自信且安全地参与数字世界,目前已有7.9万名女童子军参与该项目。
- "稀有影响力基金"与"实证项目"共同支持全球30个青少年心理健康非营利组织,为负责人提供数字工具以提升服务能力,每年惠及数百万青少年。
在谷歌.org与《亮点》杂志于俄亥俄州哥伦布市联合举办的活动上,二年级学生通过教育游戏和谜题学习了如何创建安全强密码、屏幕休息的重要性以及在线友善待人的价值。
如今,我们正扩大对青少年的数字安全与健康支持,推出针对健康技术互动最佳实践的新干预措施,并加强对抗社交孤立。具体举措如下:
- 为推动青少年倡导与参与,我们支持"活跃思维"组织,资助其在全国大规模推广长期心理健康与数字健康项目,旨在帮助10万名青少年掌握心理健康知识、技能与自我效能感,从而采取行动。该计划将确保更多青年获得提升心理素养、强化同伴网络并建立社区倡导信心的机会。
- 为促进加利福尼亚州的行为健康与数字福祉,加州行为健康协会在谷歌.org支持下启动"行为健康创新研究所"。该研究所将联合加州青少年、看护人、教育工作者及社区伙伴,重新构想如何利用技术增强心理健康、社交联结、韧性与整体福祉。
- 为弥合青少年心理健康资源缺口,我们支持"儿童心理研究所"的"镜像"计划——一个以隐私优先、基于循证的数字日记平台,旨在帮助青少年反思情绪并在需要时获得支持。该项目将整合Gemma模型以提升早期危机识别和转介效率,并面向全国学校和社区组织中需求较高的人群进一步推广。
在加利福尼亚州阿尔塔迪纳,谷歌.org与"活跃思维"组织在"伊顿火灾协作中心"举办了一场互动工作坊,庆祝新发起的全国青年主导心理健康与数字健康运动。谷歌健康高级总监梅根·琼斯·贝尔与州众议员约翰·哈拉贝迪安、"活跃思维"组织的布兰迪·普雷特洛以及当地学生领袖共同参与了专题讨论。
从支持儿童发展与心理健康专家,到我们平台上强大的家长管控和专属功能,我们为儿童、青少年和家庭所做的一切,皆以支持为初衷、以尊重为设计、以保护为根基。如此,他们便能把握技术为学习、联结与创新带来的非凡机遇。

Expanding our U.S. digital wellbeing fund
Growing up today means living in a connected world, and we believe every child should be able to learn, explore and grow safely online with the help of technology. To help lead the way, we’ve increased our U.S. digital wellbeing fund to more than $50 million to support a healthier, more resilient generation of kids and teens.
Because online safety is a shared responsibility, we support child development and mental health experts to provide resources for families and support a safe digital ecosystem for everyone. Here’s what our fund has already accomplished:
- Highlights for Children equipped one million second to fifth graders across the country with the skills to be thoughtful digital citizens.
- Girl Scouts of the USA taught girls how to confidently and safely engage with the digital world, including 79,000 Girl Scouts who have participated in the program.
- The Rare Impact Fund and Project Evident are supporting a cohort of 30 youth mental health nonprofits worldwide, equipping leaders with digital tools to increase their capacity and serve millions of young people each year.
At an event Google.org and Highlights for Children hosted in Columbus, Ohio, second grade students tackled a variety of educational games and puzzles teaching them skills like how to create a safe and strong password, why it’s important to take breaks from screens and the value of being kind online.
Now, we’re expanding our digital safety and wellbeing support for teens, introducing new interventions focused on best practices for healthy technology interactions and supports that combat social isolation. Here’s how: - To mobilize teen advocacy and engagement, we’re supporting Active Minds by funding a major national expansion of long-term mental health and digital wellbeing programming aimed at equipping 100,000 youth and young adults with the knowledge, skills and self-efficacy to take action for mental health. The initiative will ensure more youth and young adults have opportunities to develop mental health literacy, strengthen peer networks and build the confidence to advocate for wellbeing in their communities.
- To promote behavioral health and digital wellbeing in California, the California Behavioral Health Association is launching their new Behavioral Health Innovation Institute with Google.org support. The institute will engage youth, caregivers, educators and community partners across California in reimagining how technology can be used to strengthen mental health, connection, resilience and overall wellbeing.
- To help bridge gaps in youth mental health resources, we’re supporting the Child Mind Institute’s Mirror initiative, a privacy-first, evidenced-based digital journaling platform designed to help young people reflect on their emotions and connect with support when needed. The project will integrate Gemma to advance early crisis detection and strengthen referrals, and allow for further scaling with high-need populations in school and community-based organizations nationally.
In Altadena, California, Google.org and Active Minds celebrated our new national youth-led mental health and digital wellbeing movement with an engaging workshop at The Eaton Fire Collaborative. Senior Director of Health, Megan Jones Bell spoke on the panel alongside Assemblymember John Harabedian, Active Mind's Brandi Pretlow and local student leaders.
From support to child development and mental health experts to the robust parental controls and dedicated features across our platforms, everything we do for kids, teens and families is created to support, designed to respect and built to protect. This way, they can seize the incredible opportunities that technology presents for learning, connection and innovation.
