KindConnect: A Lifeline for Young Adults

KindConnect: The Future of Mental Health & Peer Support for Students

“I had 10 panic attacks a day” Kali Kuszyk-Whittall, 20 “As the term went on I struggled to feel like i was keeping on top of all my work there was a pressure to feel like I knew everything in all my modules when i didn't” Kalis story comes after recent poll found 1 in 10 university students feel “constantly anxious with exam stress, money worries, childhood traumas, bullying, balancing social life and other concerns”

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young adults, and mental health challenges are at an all-time high. Anxiety, depression, and stress are pushing students to their breaking points, yet many don’t seek help due to stigma, cost, or lack of access. At the same time, young adults aged 15-24 account for over 50% of gonorrhea cases and other rising sexual health concerns—yet many feel uncomfortable or uneducated about seeking help.

What if we could change that? What if help was just one tap away?

Introducing KindConnect – A Lifeline for Students

We are building KindConnect, a secure, AI-powered telehealth platform that provides tiered mental health and sexual health support for students—anytime, anywhere. Our platform connects young people to licensed therapists, medical doctors, and peer mentors in a structured, three-tiered system designed to meet students exactly where they are.

The Solution: Our "Call a Friend" Peer Support Model

Students don’t always need formal therapy—sometimes, they need guidance, validation, and access to trusted resources. KindConnect offers a dynamic support system that evolves with the user's needs:

The Vibe Check – Peer mentors providing real-time emotional support, guidance, and someone to talk to when life gets overwhelming. Perfect for those who need to vent, connect, and navigate college life.

⚡ The Deep Dive – Licensed therapists & mental health professionals, who offer structured support for anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life’s heavier challenges.

The Game Changer – Doctors, psychiatrists, and licensed clinicians available for diagnosis, treatment plans, and medication management for students who need medical-level intervention. As well as post education resources and same day prescriptions

With mental health and sexual health concerns at an all-time high, KindConnect ensures that help is always just one tap away, offering instant, stigma-free, and confidential support—because no one should struggle alone.
