Getting Neurospicy!

Ensuring Motional supports young People no matter where they are is an important founding principle of Motional.

We have added schools in far-flung destinations this year, including in New Zealand and Gibraltar!

But no matter where they are means much more than this! We mean no matter where they are in terms of their Neurotype!

Twitter/X

Earlier this summer, we decided to take a break from Twitter due to the changes in ownership, the platform's increasing promotion of misinformation, and a decline in online safety standards. Today, we have completely deleted our account. We believe that Twitter has lost its way and no longer aligns with our values or our commitment to promoting positive emotional well-being and mental health.

You can still stay updated with Motional on Facebook, Instagram, and through our website.

Groupshot Workflow Improvements

There have been a couple of workflow improvements to the Groupshot process to enhance your experience and to improve housekeeping!

When you 'Create a Groupshot,' Motional will now let you know if there are any incomplete Groupshots for that Group (This will stop you from creating unwanted duplicates!)

If you are a Team Admin or the User that began the Groupshot, it will let you pick up where you left off, delete, or continue as appropriate

Furthermore, Motional will now prompt you to confirm the members of the Group and give you the option to Edit the Group

You can now show Participant Tags on Snapshot Results and Programs (and can toggle them on/off.)

Well, not completely mean...

We've improved consistency across Motional. When you see results displayed in Motional, we always display the mean average by default, e.g., on a Groupshot page, and we allow you to change this if you wish.
