InTouch by Jasmine Foundation

Teen mental health is a prevalent issue today because teens don't always feel comfortable or safe talking about their well-being with their parents, school counselors, or friends. Our goal is to create an anonymized, free, and accessible service that allows teens to get support from professional counselors and peer-to-peer support groups in order to help them manage their mental health issues. We will offer a website where teens can be connected to counselors based on their specific needs. On the main page, teens will see a button that will redirect them to a survey. Users will have the option to take this short 2-minute survey to identify what type of help they specifically need. InTouch will then match the teen with the specific counselor based on their results from the survey. The user will then be able to select a counselor, receive the counselor's contact information, and reach out to the counselor through various platforms.
