Built for the Scenic Route
Welcome to the 2026 Soluna Inner State Roadtrip, where there are no wrong turns. In celebration of Mental Health Awareness this May, we'll be popping up all over New Jersey to connect with young people, families, and community leaders to talk about mental health and celebrate our unique journeys.
So hop in, buckle up, and join Soluna as we navigate our Inner and Outer States together.
The Ground We've Covered
Proof that the journey is worth it
Before we look ahead to the road, let’s glance back at the ground we’ve already covered. The latest research tells a story of a generation looking for new ways to feel supported.
In 2025, Soluna significantly increased access to behavioral health supports in critical areas across the state. The latest feedback from the young people we serve show 95% of users would recommend Soluna to a friend.*
Additionally:
- 94% of coaching and therapy users meet at least one need during a single session*
- 1 in 4 Soluna users do not receive any other mental health services outside of Soluna*
- 70% of coaching and therapy chats are requested outside of school hours*
*Data analytics - User platform data 01/01/2024 - 12/31/2025 and Stellar Survey, 2025
Support that stays with you
A 2026 independent study by Northwestern University found that young people using Soluna experienced meaningful drops in stress, loneliness, and hopelessness. These weren't just quick fixes; the improvements were still there three months later.
Whether it’s getting through the final days of freshman year or finding a way to quiet the noise of a busy city, Soluna provides the tools to help teens and young adults stay grounded.

The States We Navigate
Mapping the world around us and the feelings within us
Everyone’s map is different, so think of these cities and boundaries as a guide, not a rule. Use the landscapes that feel real to you, and remember: No matter where you land, Soluna’s here for the long haul.
- The Outer State: A landscape of constant motion: fast, crowded, and loud.
- The Inner State: Presence. Finding a private space within a public one.
- The Reality: In dense areas like Bergen County, external stressors are often environmental. Research shows that ‘city noise’ can increase the susceptibility to mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, suicide, and behavioral problems in children and adolescents. (J Expo Sci Environ Epidemiol 35, 16–23 (2025)
- The In-App Activity: Noise Cleanse. A simple way to lower the volume of the world.
- The Outer State: The misty coastline where the land meets the ocean, a place of beginnings and endings.
- The Inner State: Reflection. Building the habit of looking back at how far you’ve come.
- The Reality: Navigating the fog of the future is a collective experience; 94% of Gen Z report monthly mental health challenges (Newport Healthcare, 2026). Reflection helps you see the small wins that usually go unnoticed.
- The In-App Activity: Mood Log. A simple way to see how your feelings change over.
- The Outer State: Vast lands that feel endless: a place built on hard work and staying power.
- The Inner State: Resilience. Building the strength to keep going; it isn’t about perfection, it’s about steady steps, through every season.
- The Reality: Resilience is tested when support is hard to reach. In New Jersey, the ratio for school psychologists to students in K-12 public schools is 1 in 663, significantly lower than the recommended national standard. (NAMI State-Specific Mental Health Fact Sheets, New Jersey, 2025.)
- The In-App Activity: Let It Out. A safe place to say exactly how you feel.
- The Outer State: Rugged mountains and high altitudes: a place where you have to rely on your own skills to move forward.
- The Inner State: Self-Trust. Relying on your own internal compass when the echoes of others fade away.
- The Reality: Isolation isn't just physical. In NJ’s rural or "peak" regions, young people report a 15% higher rate of chronic sadness. (NJHA / NJ Middle School Risk Survey, 2023). When you’re physically or socially isolated, your internal values become the most reliable signal you have.
- The Tool: Values. Identifying what matters most to you.
Voices from the road
A Shared Map
We don’t travel alone. Soluna is proud to partner with a wide network of schools, libraries, and organizations dedicated to protecting and supporting the mental wellbeing of young people. From local resource centers to statewide initiatives, behind each of these logos are amazing humans helping ensure support is available every step of the journey.
Be sure to check out the events and resources available through our partners this month.
Guided by Your Voice
We work with ambassadors to make sure Soluna stays focused on the support that communities actually need. Whether it’s young people giving us feedback on new features, or educators and families starting honest conversations in their own neighborhoods, these groups help decide where Soluna goes next.
