Safe, supportive peer connection

In Soluna's anonymous community forums, youth find peers who get what they're going through— and unlike social media, there is no direct messaging between users, and trained moderators review every post before it's published.

Real help finding real-world support

Whether it's finding a therapist or locating housing, Soluna helps young people search for and connect with low- or no-cost services in their area.

How Soluna fits into support systems 

Soluna is a bridge — a trusted starting point that connects young people to support and helps them build emotional strength over time.

  • Soluna is not a crisis service — we’ll refer the user to the right care if needed.
  • Soluna is not a place for diagnosis or prescritions.
  • While Soluna can supplement ongoing therapy with a mental health professional, it is not a replacement for more comprehensive, therapeutic management of chronic conditions.

Safety is our top priority

Every aspect of Soluna is designed with privacy, protection, and clinical oversight in mind.

  • Licensed professionals or certified coaches
  • Private, secure platform with strict data safeguards
  • Compliance with all federal and state privacy laws
  • Consent required for professional support sessions when required by law

We never share information or activity with anyone outside of Soluna without user consent, except in situations where safety concerns require us to act.

What is coaching or counseling like?

Soluna offers one-on-one text, phone, or video chats with trained professionals who understand challenges unique to teens and young adults. Chats are:

  • Confidential conversations focused on everyday stressors like stress, school, and relationships
  • Led by licensed counselors or certified coaches
  • Available by appointment or on-demand during set hours

Frequently asked questions

What is Soluna?

Soluna is a digital mental health platform designed for teens and young adults ages 13-25. It offers evidence-based self-guided tools, a safe peer community, and access to professional one-on-one support, all in a confidential and secure environment.

Is it really free?

Yes, Soluna is free for eligible users, with funding provided through state initiatives, community partnerships, and, in some cases, health insurance providers.

Who can use Soluna?

Soluna is designed for individuals aged 13-25. Access may vary by state based on local regulations and funding.

How do users sign up?

Users can create an account through the Soluna website or mobile app. Depending on their age and state, parental consent may be required for certain services.

Is parental consent required?

The need for parental consent varies by state based on local regulation. In some states, teens under a certain age may require parental consent to access one-on-one support from mental health professionals. If consent is needed, parents will receive an email with instructions on how to provide it.

Are teens able to chat with each other in Soluna?

Unlike social media platforms, Soluna provides a professionally-moderated support environment. Teens cannot directly message each other, add friends, or exchange personal information. All interactions occur in supervised spaces, ensuring a safe, supportive experience focused on mental health and wellbeing.

Will I be able to see what my child is doing in Soluna?

To ensure teens feel safe and open, we don't share any user details or activity without explicit consent, except in cases where safety requires it.

How does Soluna ensure all content shared on the platform is safe?

Soluna ensures all content shared on the platform is safe through a rigorous pre-moderation process. Our safety team reviews every post before it goes live to confirm it aligns with community guidelines, contains no personal information, and fosters a supportive environment.

How does Soluna handle situations where a young person needs additional support?

We maintain clear protocols for supporting young people through challenging times. Our team is trained to identify when someone might need extra help and can connect them with appropriate local resources. We work closely with parents when consent is given, schools, and emergency services when necessary, always prioritizing young people's safety and wellbeing.

When and how does Soluna involve parents or guardians?

All of our providers are trained to help guide youth back to the safe, supportive adults in their lives. They coach youth on how to effectively communicate their needs to a guardian or another trusted adult. However, if our team identifies that a young person needs additional support or may be at risk, we follow careful protocols that prioritize both safety and privacy. We work to empower young people to involve trusted adults in their support system when appropriate.

How can I help my child get the most out of Soluna?

Encouraging open conversations about mental health and supporting your child in exploring the app can help them feel comfortable using Soluna's tools and resources.

What happens if my child needs urgent help?

If your child is in immediate danger or needs urgent mental health support, they should call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, or contact emergency services. Soluna is a preventative support tool, not a crisis service, and does not provide crisis intervention.
