100+ topics. Chosen by teens with a highlighter.

Starting in 2020, I spent the next five years digging into the WHY behind teen mental health — alongside thousands of moms and teens. Together we narrowed 300 topics down to the 100 that mattered most, with hundreds of Gen Z teens highlighting exactly what they wanted to understand.

Alone at 11pm, a student flips it open. One topic jumps out: "That's me." No words required. No adult. No login. No stigma. That moment of recognition is the intervention — before the spiral, before crisis.
