The teen mental health crisis is accelerating. Students are overwhelmed. Appa is here to help.

Tier 2 Support

Appa fosters emotional well-being and resilience through personalized mentorship and an evidence-based curriculum.

Pairing Students with Mentors

At Appa, teens aged 13 to 18 are paired with mentors who have shared lived experience overcoming mental health challenges. Mentors guide teens through a 12-week digital curriculum designed by our team of experts that teaches strategies proven to improve mood, motivation, and relationships.

…and SEL Curriculum

Our program teaches evidence-based strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Social & Emotional Learning and our content creators bring the curriculum to life. All of our content is created by licensed therapists and psychiatrists and is designed to be engaging to teens.
