Goal
The Problem:
Our teens are numbing themselves with drugs, alcohol and food, escaping into social media or gaming, lashing outward, or lashing inward, increasing the risk for depression and suicide.
Our traditional educational and medical systems have neither the bandwidth nor the resources to meet the mental and emotional needs of teens and young adults.
Our Mission:
Provide best-in-class mental and emotional education, tools, and resources, to teens and the people who care about them.
Our Unique Approach:
*The M.E.C.A. Project utilizes the Vibeonix voice technology, to identify specific emotional markers so individuals can recognize and track emotional states daily.
*Through our scholarship program, every teen and young adult can apply for free access to our tools and education.
*Our predictive modeling program incorporates the quantitative and qualitative input from users to feel, understand, and move current emotions.
*Our researched-based resources are curated for teens and the adults who care for them. We provide self-directed behavior change through education, workshops, videos, and articles.
*We carefully and purposely hold a safe space for our users at all times, as opposed to the boundaryless space of YouTube or social media.
Our Board of Directors: Kristi Holt, Ryan Holt, Amber Trueblood, Val Hale & Missy Kelly
