There was a problem, and we decided to be the solution!

• Even before COVID-19 pandemic, mental illness affected 20% of adolescents worldwide. 

• Unfortunately, COVID-19 intensified these challenges and made them susceptible to poor mental health conditions:

  • 27% reported feelings of anxiety

  • 46%  reported having less motivation 

  • 40% feel pessimistic about the future 

  • 73% felt the need to ask for help, but 40% did not

• What's worse is that many adolescents have lost contact with their support systems- friends, teachers, counselors, mental health facilities, and more. 

What is our goal? 

We aim to support youth wellbeing during COVID-19 by spreading one Smile at a time!

Who are we? 

We are a global team of GEN Z students, leaders, and changemakers with a shared passion for mental health advocacy. 

What do we do? 

​

• Create free and accessible mental health resources,  

• Develop education and awareness programs, 

• #Breakthebarriers and connect teens from all over the globe,

• Show the power of collaboration, diversity, and innovation.
