Connection, before crisis.
MyMenta helps families, schools, and communities catch the quiet moments before they become emergencies, through prevention, not just intervention.
No young person heals alone.
Behind every young person is a circle of people who already show up for them — parents, teachers, coaches, siblings, peers, mentors.
MyMenta exists to strengthen that circle, not replace it.
Connect. Scan. Assess. Circle.
Our CSAC framework is how we move from noticing something's off to actually getting a young person the right support — before it becomes a crisis.
Connect
Build real relationship and trust with the young person.
Scan
Notice early signals of distress, heart and mind together.
Assess
Understand what kind of support is actually needed.
Circle
Place them in the Circle built for what they're carrying.
The 7 Circles of Support
For young people who need a group and don’t have an inner or support circle yet. We scan the heart to understand what they’re carrying, then place them in a peer-to-peer Circle co-designed with youth who understand them. Healing happens in connection, not in isolation.
