About Alongside

Alongside’s mission is to curb the youth mental health crisis with an accessible and equitable resource, as it’s impossible for live care to meet the entire need. To that aim, Alongside developed an app that provides students with accessible, personalized and trustworthy mental health support. The app is designed for middle and high school students, and the company works exclusively with schools.
