THE

PROBLEM

WE’RE

SOLVING

We are witnessing a global youth mental health crisis.

Research indicates 50% of mental health problems occur by age 14 and 75% by age 24 which if untreated may exacerbate into prolonged cases of self-harm, mental health disorders, and poor academic and social outcomes.

Young People are slipping under the cracks and falling into unfortunate circumstances.

The current state of support is often fragmented, outdated, and ineffective - resulting in a poor experience for students.

Leading to a cycle of untreated mental health issues and general life challenges.

THE

SOLUTION

WE’RE

USING

We aim to revolutionize the student counseling experience by offering culturally competent solutions. We’re developing interactive and personalized data-informed life coaching products and programs for young folks ages 14-24.

The role of Confi Coaches is critical; they are trained to function as peer-level life coaches who mimic the engaging charisma of "social media influencers", providing evidence-based coaching to serve as a first line of support for young people.

With Confi, young people can engage in discussions and peer-coaching sessions that help them navigate the challenges and curiosities of life while addressing emotional well-being needs.

Meet The Founder

Marilyn A. Bekolo

Marilyn is a social entrepreneur with 10+ experience and a lifetime of compassion for students. Marilyn recently served as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Zinc VC in London, England (Cohort 4) specializing in Youth Mental Health. Prior to Zinc, she worked cross-sector within the intersection of diversity, education, and technology for organizations including  Google, Microsoft Philanthropies, YP Public Schools, Accenture, and Kokua Education. 

As someone who's personally experienced the gaps in the current student support system, she understands firsthand the challenges students face and the resources they require.

Marilyn’s time working on Google's Criminal Investigations team and partnering with school districts nationwide introduced her to the aftermath of students who don't receive help early on. Her interest in youth mental health was sparked by Dr. Nadine Burke's research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) on how childhood trauma progresses into adult years which led to her deep conviction to work on a solution.

Marilyn’s unique blend of personal experiences coupled with her professional expertise positions her uniquely to bridge this gap.
