Why Peer Mentorship?
Support only works when teens use it.
Only 1/3 of teens get access to mental health care in the U.S. and many teens have decided that mental healthcare isn't for them. We built Somethings because every teen deserves to have real human connection, no matter what they are going through and to be able to access that support whenever they need.
