Improving the mental health of suffering adolescent girls through compassionate tech
We create technology and expert-led community workshops to prevent and alleviate the feelings of anxiety and hopelessness in teenage girls caused by social and technology-influenced pressure.
Our Mission
To empower adolescent girls across the globe with community and technological support to overcome mental health challenges.
Our three-step action plan
-
Targeted Solutions
Our programs and tools are designed to cater specifically to the unique needs of teenage girls and resonate with their experiences and challenges. This ensures a more significant impact on their mental health journey.
-
Community Involvement
Strong support systems are critical in overcoming mental health struggles. Serene involves parents, teachers, and the community as primary mentors, working together to create a nurturing and empowering environment for teenage girls.
-
Technology as an Enabler
Technology enables us to facilitate communication, track progress, and offer timely interventions. Balanced with human connection and empathy, we can ensure comprehensive care to improve mental health.
Our Solutions
We believe in co-creating solutions catered to the specific needs of individuals and small-scale communities, so we’re currently focusing our efforts in our home city - San Diego, with the aim to eventually offer our services to communities in need globally.
Workshop at a San-Diego School district
Designing effective solutions requires a community-centered approach. That’s why we involve all relevant stakeholders, including teenage girls themselves, parents, and teachers, in the product ideation process. We are organizing workshops in local schools in San Diego to hear the voices of teenagers, parents, teachers, and therapists and make sure we tailor our solutions to the specific needs of teenage girls in our community.
Self-Compassion Platform
"A Friend in Me" is our initiative to empower young girls with skills in self-awareness and self-compassion. By fostering resilience and promoting personal growth, we aim for a brighter future for every user. Along with workshops that highlight the transformative power of self-compassion, we are developing a digital platform filled with essential resources. Guided by an interactive avatar, users can explore quizzes, games, meditations, and exercises. Our approach ensures that self-compassion training is not only accessible and engaging but also leaves a lasting impact.
The Village - Big Sister App
Having a trusted adult in a teenager’s life decreases the likelihood that they will experience depression, anxiety, and stress.
The Village - Big Sister is a social networking app that connects teenage girls with friendly and supportive adult “big sisters” in their community and provides one-on-one mentoring relationships.
