Forteens — an AI-powered companion supporting teens’ mental well-being.
Support, games, and care in one app.
Mental health support often comes too late or doesn’t come at all.
Every fifth teenager faces:
anxiety, stress, depression, or emotional distress.
More than 60% of teens
do not receive psychological support due to fear of judgment, distrust, or lack of access to professionals.
When a teen is struggling
there’s often no one to talk to. No psychologist. No trusted adult.
Traditional therapy feels boring to teenagers
they don’t engage in the conversation and quickly lose interest.

Evidence & trust
Our app is grounded in the latest research on youth mental health.
- We reviewed reports from the WHO, National Library of Medicine, UNICEF, and other leading studies to understand what teens really need — and why current tools often fail.
- Conducted original research with psychologists and a test group of teenagers. This helped us map out user groups, preferences, and the formats teens respond to best.
- We use evidence-based methods — including adapted CBT, DBT, and validated micro-interventions made for teens.
Pilot testing results:
- 79% said it felt “easier to use Forteens than talking to a therapist”
- 83% reported feeling significantly better after using the app

Games and Techniques That Speak the Teenagers’ Language
Teenagers feel at home in games — it’s their world. That’s why our games are created with input from mental health experts and powered by AI that responds to each teen’s emotions and behavior.
The system “senses” anxiety signals, selects the right technique, monitors progress, and helps teens move forward at a comfortable pace — gently, subtly, and safely.
- Takes into account how teens think, grow, and perceive the world — with age-appropriate personalization
- Addresses common issues like anxiety, stress, apathy, insecurity, anger, burnout — using game-based therapeutic techniques
- These tools work gently, without retraumatizing or replacing live human contact — they safely complement it
- Combines the best approaches from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, body-based practices, and art therapy etc
