MeeTwo is a free App for teens providing moderated peer support, expert help, education resources and guided learning for PSHE.

The UK currently spends over £100 Billion PA (DOH) on mental health issues and half of those conditions are diagnosed by age 14. Young people attending Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) are the tip of a much bigger iceberg. The Department for Education acknowledges that there is a “slow-growing epidemic” of mental health decline in schools, yet we know that even mild anxiety can interfere with concentration, decision making, creativity and general well-being.

Despite universal recognition that early support prevents problems escalating, there has been a critical shortage of effective early intervention solutions. Until now.

MeeTwo is a digital solution to a growing real world problem. It provides teenagers with a supportive, 100 per cent moderated, community where they can ask awkward questions anonymously, and safely share their concerns. Young people are encouraged to support each other and behind the scenes, experts act as ‘super peers’, guiding advice trails to improve quality and accuracy, and ensure that every problem receives fully rounded solutions. Educational resources embedded within the platform allow young people to go deeper into specific topics; they are also invited to submit creative content for inclusion in the app.

MeeTwo’s unique blend of peer, expert and educational support is an intuitive response to how Gen Z learn, develop and connect.
