Build a foundation of wellbeing for a joyful future.
Our mission is to scale emotional wellbeing with a focus on our future leaders, young people ages 15-25, who are navigating independence challenged by complex emotions, family dynamics, lack of support, and important life choices.
1 in 5 young people experience mental health issues
70% don’t have access to care
There’s an average 10 year gap from the onset of mental health issues to treatment.
With rising anxiety, suicide, and loneliness among teens and young adults, we aim to bridge the gap with mindfulness support in daily moments to create a joyful future.
