Peace of Mind in Your Pocket.
Mental support at the tip of your fingers.
How does BalanceBuddy work?
BalanceBuddy is a mental health app exclusively for teenagers that offers a comprehensive set of tools such as a mood tracking calendar, hobby-based community, and resource library without the stressful procedure required for a medical facility that offers support at the tip of the finger for teenagers. Furthermore, knowing that many parents wants to be involved in the well-being of their children, we also provide the option for parent portals.
Our Mission
Especially since Covid-19, mental health issues around the globe have been on a significant rise. Data in 2021 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that 42% of students have felt persistently sad or hopeless, 29% think that they have poor mental health, 22% considered attempting suicide, and 10% have attempted suicide. These statistics shows that there is a need for more tools for teens to access when they are feeling off or identify their emotional state. Therefore, we aim to provide support for the average day teenager who struggles with their mental health but wants tools they can have access to in their back pockets.
My Story
As the founder of BalanceBuddy and also a high school student myself, I understand the struggle to balance the various factors in a teen’s life during this crucial developmental age. Many friends around me face challenges from feelings such as stress, anxiousness, lack of energy, etc. Through this app, I wish I can develop an app that can uplift teenagers and hopefully provide them a safe space for when they feel they need a support system.
