A safe space for personalized support

Soluna gives teens the tools to thrive

✨ I love Soluna, it helps me so much when I need to talk to someone, it’s easily accessible and I’m feeling much better after I chat with a coach.

✨ I finally feel like I am able to talk to someone, and it takes a huge weight off my shoulders. Being able to talk to someone trained to help me for no charge is wonderful, and I am happy to be able to use the app, and talk to people about my problems when I need to.

✨ Soluna has helped me to understand my emotions and be able to work out various issues. It’s a safe space that helps me to learn new things for my relationships, overall being, and mental health. I feel less depressed when having the Soluna app as a tool for me.

✨Soluna made me feel heard and safe like I can vent or tell someone in the chat what's going on and they'll actually do something about it which makes me feel hopeful and safe.
Soluna User, Age 17
✨ Soluna helps me unwind at night. I utilize the noise cleanse tool every night and it has been a game changer for me. I also get to track how I’m feeling with the mood tracker and see how my relationships affect me which is a cool feature. It makes me more aware of how certain people in my life make me feel.

Frequently asked questions

Is Soluna confidential?

Absolutely. Safety and confidentiality are our highest concern. When teens create an account, they’ll be asked to provide an Email Address, ZIP Code and Date of Birth — just to confirm regional eligibility to use the services. To access peer forums and coaching, first and last name are required to confirm their Aetna Better Health of Illinois membership, but at no time is it visible in the app. All user-generated content in peer forums is anonymous, and users cannot chat directly with each other or share personal contact information.

Who do you share user data with?

We only share information as outlined in our Privacy Notice. Beyond that, users have the option to opt in to allow us to use your data for research purposes — this helps improve the digital mental health journey for everyone. But that’s completely up to each user. Check out our Privacy Notice for details.

Can anyone, like guardians, school, employer, or doctors, see activity on Soluna?

No, user activity on Soluna is private. Guardians, school employees, an employer, or doctors cannot see what users do on the platform. However, if we are ever concerned about a user's safety, we may need to take action to protect them, which could involve contacting emergency services or relevant authorities.

How much does Soluna cost?

It's totally free! Aetna Better Health of Illinois covers all the app costs for their members. So users will never be asked for payment and there aren't any in-app buys or annoying ads.
