Clinically-guided skills to help teens thrive
We are creating a world where no young person feels alone in their mental health journey.
Gen Z faces challenges no other generation has experienced.
More than 9 in 10 Gen Z-ers have experienced significant physical or emotional symptoms of stress.
Gen Z is strong.
They talk about mental health and seek community support more than any generation before them.
Gen Z deserves a solution designed for them.
That’s why we developed a model of evidence-based, community-driven support where groups of like-minded teens share stories, learn tools, and grow together – all led by a trained Peer Support Worker.
Why Peer Support Works
It meets teens where they are. 67% of young people tell a friend they are struggling before anyone else.
It reflects a person’s background and the importance of therapeutic alliance and culturally competent care.
It improves self-efficacy, interpersonal relationships, and general wellbeing, and reduces substance use.
