UnaFocus aims to help students find the healthiest versions of themselves. We believe health is holistic, being comprised of mental, physical, social, and nutritional elements.Through a game, incorporated into everyday life, Focus incorporates these elements into the lives of high school students. Our goal is to trigger healthy behaviors in a positive environment.
