"I struggle with talking to people about certain topics...the app has helped with that."

Student Jessica Fikes addresses the types of concerns and skepticism parents might have about Alongside...

"Speaking from personal experience, the Alongside app is really helpful and to me I feel like it could be a really good, like, on your phone therapist. Because for me, I struggle with talking to people about certain topics and kind of telling people what's wrong. So for me I feel like the app has kind of helped with that a little bit, because with the app I was able to talk

to the little AI character and it kind of helped me express some of the feelings that I was having. It's also really good for organization as I use the goals and the journal to kind of help me with my thoughts and what I need to get done with the day."
