Rebound Dimple - Preparing Humanity to Thrive
- Sri Lanka
- Hybrid of for-profit and nonprofit
Southern and South East Asia, a region of close to 2.2 billion people has one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
This region suffers from generational stigmatisation of Mental Health Issues and a severe lack of resources for proactive health support and education, making it extremely under-resourced and ripe for development.
We seek to shatter this stigma and provide easy access to mental health support.
We understand that mental, physical, and social health are all connected, and ultimately determine how we feel.
We aim to implement evidence-based prevention strategies and minimize the downstream burden on individuals and communities.
Rebound has uniquely positioned itself to transform how health across this region is treated for future generations.
A world where prevention is prioritized.
- A Market bigger than all of the countries in Europe combined.
India and Indonesia will be positioned in the TOP 5 countries in the world for GDP by 2030
India alone has over 1.4 million schools with 50,000 of those being private with over 300 million students and a burgeoning middle class accommodating the world's highest number of Billionaires.
- Severely lacking Infrastructure, No visible support network. Mental Health illiterate. Highest Suicide rate in the world.
The region has the lowest (per capita) Mental Health Workers across the globe and some countries don't even recognise the word 'Depression' in their language
1. REBOUND EDUCATION (NFP) is a culturally nuanced educational program digitally delivered and facilitated in school by teachers and counselors which will also be provided to families bringing awareness to issues surrounding Mental Health and delivering on the WHO recommendations.
2. REBOUND DIMPLE. The WHY. (B2B, B2C)
- 75% of Mental Health Conditions are developed by the age of 17. Half of all mental health conditions first emerge before the age of 14, and over the past 15 years, the number of young people experiencing mental ill-health has grown by 50 %
- There is a direct link between student well-being and academic learning.
- Current educational settings do not currently have a centralised vehicle (tech) to identify or capture students at risk of falling behind (academically) or suffering from emotional difficulties.
- Research suggests students generally do not know how to ask for help in a school setting or trust an adult that they can turn to for help.
- No Real-time data reflective of current student experience currently in the region administered through tech. No centralised resource library for educators offering personalised research-driven real-time responses for individuals at risk, or within classrooms collectively.
Rebound Group is pioneering 'Commercial Altruism' by building innovative tech solutions as B2B and B2C offerings, with a percentage of revenues going across to our Rebound Global (NFP) to fund health education across Asia.
The Resolution.
REMASTER - Education in schools, workplaces & communities.
Our programs will closely align with current research and the recommendations of The World Health Organisation (WHO). We understand the spaces where the greatest impact can be made and will deliver engaging, data-driven, and evidence-backed health interventions in schools, the workplace, and the home.
REWIRE - Shatter stigma, Open conversation.
Our purpose-driven approach will be to break down culturally ingrained misconceptions around mental health issues and normalise health awareness. We will combine public awareness campaigns and impact-led fundraising to create open conversations around traditionally taboo topics.
REBUILD - The Blueprint for a healthier life. An all-in-one health platform.
Our communities face a fragmented approach to health due to an excess of isolated applications and tools. We will combine AI enabled health support, information resources and training into one seamless platform. A single hub for knowledge spanning physical, mental, and financial health.
RECONNECT - Enable meaningful connections across the globe.
We aim to establish a community in an underserved region, where limited health infrastructure and cultural stigma have hindered access to support. In our secure and supportive digital forum, individuals can connect with health professional, peers, and like-minded individuals, seeking help and finding solidarity.
We have an immersive and engaging educational offering for students across the region and are also building innovative and exciting tech offerings identifying those at risk and delivering support for those who need it most - all delivered through a groundbreaking micro-learning platform.
We will also remove the barriers that children in the region currently face by allowing 'in house' digital interaction with school counsellors so that students are 'Heard and not seen'.
Rebound follows the guidelines of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and delivers its evidence-based solutions to schools, workplaces, and the home.
Rebound has earmarked Sri Lanka for its pilot, a country decimated by civil war (70,000 dead) obliterated by natural disasters (40,000 dead - tsunami), and driven to desperation by economic mismanagement.
Our initial awareness campaign sets the tone for giving the population of Asia the Freedom, the knowledge, and the tools to manage their mental health.

Our founder - Todd King has taken the huge step of moving his family into the region (Sri Lanka) to get a deeper understanding of the issues on the ground, collate a team of knowledgeable and experienced individuals and further develop relationships with stakeholders, government, and corporate organisations.
This is Todd's fifth time in the country and he has now established a broad network of individuals who are keen to make a dent in an otherwise undernourished region.
Meeting with schools, ambassadors, influencers, educators, and ministerial representatives has had Todd extraordinarily busy and tested in a challenging environment.
Rebound Global is Australia's first not-for-profit approved to deliver health education across Asia. Stringent requirements and governance guidelines have to be met with Australia's Charity Body the ACNC.
One of the requirements is that the organisation requires three directors and two of the directors are from Sri Lanka with prominent contacts across the region.
Although the technology is being formulated within an Australian organisation, each product, if you like is subject to an exhaustive discovery process within the region to help formulate the scope. Cultural nuance and deeper understanding is established at this point allowing us to develop technology particularised for cultural sensitivities.
Thereafter the technology will be built in the country in which it is designed. Our first build, which is for schools across India is being built in India.
Our initial educational program is being developed with local educators, counselors and medical professionals in Sri Lanka. It will be further nuanced and particularised in each country of offering.
Todd, our founder is speaks to local children, parents and medical professionals every day to develop a product rich in cultural nuance and fit.
- Increase access to and quality of health services for medically underserved groups around the world (such as refugees and other displaced people, women and children, older adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals).
- 3. Good Health and Well-Being
- 9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
- Pilot
To become an established international Charity in Australia, the organisation has to meet complex and stringent requirements in respect of governance and policy formation. Governed by an overriding constitution, Rebound also has populated policies and frameworks across a broad number of categories. This process is exhaustive, and the application process can take months to complete. The outcome is Australia's first international NFP approved to deliver mental health education across Asia. https://reboundgroup.org.au/go...
Now positioned in Sri Lanka and having signed several MOU's with schools in the region Rebound is ready to run its pilot program. Schools have been selected and a brief overview of the program can be found here: https://reboundgroup.org.au/ou...
One of our directors is the Founder/CEO of https://www.frntlne.com/ and the program will be delivered out of their established platform by teachers and/or counselors in the classrooms of our pilot schools. Gathered learning's are integral for us to nuance our product for further roll out across the region.
Rebound Dimple is currently undergoing an extensive discovery process with https://www.fabricgroup.com.au... and will be ready for delivery by August into our first schools. This scalable product is being built for the 2.2 billion people across the region we look forward to its completion.
Notwithstanding this, we have executed a creative awareness campaign that will formulate our ongoing marketing initiatives, events and fundraisers including a masquerade ball in each country (cultural masks) and health initiatives. https://rebound.raiselysite.co...
To be honest, we love what Solve is doing in this space. It's terminology 'Disruptive Philanthropy', 'Venture Philanthropy', 'Impact Investing', resonate powerfully and closely with the Rebound Brand and future thinking.
Coining our phrase 'Commercial Altruism', we see some synergies around strategy and progressive commercial modeling and enterprise, notwithstanding the capacity to leverage our brand off Solve connections and social entrepreneurs.
Working closely with Solve partners will be a feature of our initial stages and provide the launch pad and exposure to individuals and organizations not generally on our radar.
We look forward to aligning our values and future plans with Sove as a result.

Southern and Southeast Asia are extremely under-resourced in Mental Health Solutions and infrastructure. India suffers from the highest suicide rate in the world and doesn't have any recognisable system to deal with Mental Health Issues.
Our hybrid organisation is cultivating 'Commercial Altruism' by building revolutionary technology within the Group entity to fund much-needed health education right across Asia.
By treating the cause and not the symptoms we hope to inoculate a generation and provide opportunities for the world's most populous region to get help when they need it.
Consequently, we will build a world-first digital support platform and educational ecosystem that promotes wellness at its source enabling real time solutions and identifying those at risk from an early age. Hyper- personalised. AI componentry. Digital Interaction and support.
Twelve months of deep research, S.W.0.T analysis helped to establish Southern Asia as a region ready for transformation.
This region Harbours 2 countries (India and Indonesia) that will make up the TOP5 (GDP) by the year 2030, notwithstanding Pakistan, which will become a Top 3 country (population) in the world. All three of these countries are receptive to technology with Indonesia and India being the biggest users of Technology for health purposes on the planet (per capita).
Sri Lanka was chosen as our pilot country for the education program due to accessibility (two of original directors originated from SL), notwithstanding the unbelievable suffering it has endured over the last 30 years. (70,000 killed in a civil war, 40,000 killed in 2004 tsunami, and economic turmoil bringing the country to its knees requiring support from the World Bank).
This generational trauma is extremely apparent and stifling the capacity of the country to REBOUND. Our evidence-backed and resource-driven ecosystem is set to transform the way health is proactively treated for generations to come. We will deliver these programs across schools, workplaces, and the home adhering to the WHO recommendations.
As our website states: Our Goal (reboundgroup.org.au) we hope to reach over 2 million people with our program by the end of 2025.
Within the parameters of our website, we have made it abundantly clear what we set out to do, when, and some commentary around plans. Making this visible to the broader public ensures that we are accountable for our forecasting.
The Rebound 'Dimple' solution is being built to capture data from the world's most populous region. This will ultimately deliver rich data to educators, parents, and even the government, shaping curriculums for generations to come.
This data will also help to identify individuals at risk from an early age and allow for real-time support or triage. Hyper personalised AI-driven solutions are also in the pipeline helping to equip individuals with a broad range of proactive solutions to health issues as they arise.
With our pilot running into a Colombo school of over 2000 students within the next six weeks, we will capture valuable and important feedback, allowing us to culturally nuance our offerings and build scalable and culturally sensitive products for the region.
We understand our market. Our partnership with Australia's premier micro-learning organisation will mean that children will get education 'how they like it'. Under one minute, impactful and insightful, this tech enabled delivery will set the tone for the generation.
Immersive, engaging and delivered through our rigorous platform, teachers and/or counsellors will have access to real-time solutions, a library of resources and AI componentry.
Compiling a massive database of users, along with important data capture will enable us to set the framework for health offerings and support across the region for generations to come through groundbreaking technology.

When establishing an International Charity, rigorous criteria must be met.
Governed by a Constitution, Rebound Global Ltd also has over eleven policy or procedure manuals governing finance, people, overseas operations, child protection and procurement.
Overseeing this extraordinary level of governance sits a very capable board of directors and advisors carefully selected based on experience over years in their respective fields.

Being a Mental health organisation requires us to uphold the values of diversity, non-judgement, inclusivity and respect.
Unmasking a Generation.
Rebound Global is Australia's first Not-For Profit approved to deliver Mental Health Education across Asia.
A country and its people cannot reach their full potential if it continues to perpetuate stigma around mental health issues, forcing individuals to mask behaviors, fearing embarrassment, ridicule, and shame.
Our programs are designed for a region devoid of Mental Health support, access, or infrastructure. This region perpetuates a stigma contributing to the highest suicide rate in the world (India) and the impact we will make is Holistic and Generational.
Rewiring - Education and Awareness Programs that break down culturally ingrained misconceptions around mental health issues and normalise mental health awareness.
Rebuilding - An all-in-one digital platform that provides real-time mental health support and education resources.
Reconnecting - Establishing a digital community where people can connect with their peers and health professionals to find solidarity and support.
Schools/Workplace - Our Education will be delivered through a micro-learning platform and facilitated by teachers and counsellors in each school.
Workplaces will have their programs delivered by one of our Rebound accredited facilitators.
We have earmarked over 100,000 private schools across the region for our 'Dimple' tech. (subscription model)
Various other B2C and B2G offerings are undergoing a rigorous discovery process and revenues of which, will go to funding further education.
- Individual consumers or stakeholders (B2C)
We have uniquely positioned ourselves as a hybrid organisation (NFP with attached Commercial Entity) to deliver on our strategy.
Coining the phrase 'commercial altruism', establishing Australia's first NFP to be able to deliver Mental Health Education across Asia and building innovative technology for B2C and B2C markets will help redefine how organisations may start to look like in the future. This is an opportunity for Solve to support an ethos and our organisation, one that clearly aligns with their own.
These offerings will be the first of their type in the region and will hope to streamline support and access for communities on the back of a huge branding and ambassadorial campaign.
Notwithstanding our model, we have access to grants across the globe and in our country of origin. We will develop a team to pursue all of those grants.
Partnerships with organisations across the globe will form another stream, with our technology solutions being offered as one incentive alongside our marketing team pushing an ESG strategy into global organisations clearly impacting health in some way, around the globe.
We will run extraordinarily provocative fundraising campaigns throughout the region commencing with our initial campaign 'The Unmasking', which you can find here: Rebound. The Unmasking. (raiselysite.com) These will be nuanced in each country. These campaigns will help to open up the space and freedom for people to speak openly.
