Are users anonymous on the app?

Yes. To access peer forums and 1:1 support, first name, last name, and an email address are required, but at no time is it visible to users in the platform. Users cannot chat directly or share personal contact information.

Can parents, teachers, school, or doctor see student activity in the app?

Our platform is designed to provide a confidential and youth-centered space where young people can access mental health support without fear of stigma. As a result, the user experience in the app is confidential unless there is a safety concern.

How does Soluna support youth who may be in crisis?

When Imminent Risk is identified in asynchronous content, a member of our team will send a message with crisis resources, seeking additional identifying information, and encouraging them to connect with us to better address the risk. If a risk is identified and the young person is under the age of consent in their state, our clinicians follow state-mandated reporting laws and duty-to-warn obligations, which may include contacting a parent or caregiver when necessary to ensure the young person's safety.

Will you refer students to counseling on campus?

Yes. We always encourage young people to connect with the additional resources available to them, including counseling services on campus, to ensure they have the support they need.

Will you alert older students when they are going to age out?

Users receive a series of reminders as they approach the age limit — starting six months before, then at three months, and more frequently as their birthday approaches. After they age out, they can continue to access Soluna as a guest to explore content and use interactive tools.

They don't need all the answers. Just somewhere to start.

Q: Are all students eligible to use Soluna?

Yes! Students can register with the zip code of their residence hall to get immediate access to Soluna.

Whatever journey they're on, Soulna gives your students a place to start. Our state-funded mental health platform includes 1:1 coaching and therapy year-round —including school breaks — self-care activities like breathwork and goal setting, and moderated community forums for peer connection - at no cost to teens aged 13-18.

Support for the new semester, and beyond

Soluna was designed with and for young people to navigate challenges — no cost, insurance, or waitlists necessary. We supplement school resources to keep your students engaged and supported, all year long.

1:1 support on their schedule

Students can connect with a trained Soluna Coach or licensed therapist whenever they need someone in their corner. No insurance, no waitlists, and absolutely no cost — just open, judgment-free support.

Building skills to stay engaged

Soluna’s library of content and self-care tools support young people in turning life's challenges into chances for growth. Inspired by positive psychology, our evidence-based resources urge students to embrace their strengths, values, and goals as they head back to the classroom.

Nurturing confidence through connection

A new school year can mean starting over socially too. Soluna’s moderated community forums help youth hear from peers who know what they’re going through. Whether sharing a story or offering encouragement, every comment is reviewed before being published to keep things safe and supportive.

Real help finding real-world support

It’s hard to focus when school is competing with basic needs. Soluna’s resource finder helps young people search for and connect with low- or no-cost services in their area for food, shelter, medical emergencies, or even therapists for ongoing support.

Support that speaks their language

Students can get 1:1 professional support on their terms, in their time. The Soluna app is available in English and Spanish, with scheduled tele-coaching available in all 19 Medi-Cal languages upon request*
