Why this work matters
Teen girls are facing record levels of anxiety, loneliness, and pressure, yet many can’t access timely support due to long waitlists, high costs, and limited options. As the same time, social media, cyberbullying, and AI companions are deepening the isolation - 72% of teens have used an AI companion, and a third say they turn to it for serious matters instead of real people. We believe every teen deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. Vescent was created with intention - not algorithms or endless scrolling - to connect girls with trained mentors and practical tools that build confidence, resilience, and belonging. Real change happens through real connection with real people. This is about more than an app - it’s about driving real change for the next generation of girls.
