Invite Solome to Speak - A Mental Health Speaker Who Connects -

Hi, my name is Solome!

I’m the Founder of Anxiety In Teens, it is nice to meet you!

Ever since I started Anxiety In Teens as an anxious teenager myself in 2006, I’ve been passionate about supporting other teens in learning more about mental health issues, reduce stigma and share their stories.

Gen Z and Millenials are leveraging technologies in ways that we could never have imagined just a few short years ago, and it’s making a big impact on our mental health. Healthcare providers, payers and patients are demanding new and innovative solutions to address the growing national behavioral healthcare costs. Schools and families are struggling to understand the massive impact social media is putting on our teens today.

I’m a mental health social entrepreneur who has built non-profit and for-profit startup organizations aimed at changing how we deliver mental healthcare. I’m also a Millennial eager to help our generations connect on important issues around tech, digital citizenship and more. I speak to colleges, universities and associations nationwide about managing anxiety and mental health, innovation in the mental health technology ecosystem, and how to support young adults in pursuing entrepreneurship.
