SOLUNA APP

Summer looks different for everyone. For some, it’s pool parties and playlists. For most, it’s panic attacks in the parking lot. So we teamed up with Soluna, the free mental health app for Californians aged 13 to 25, for a literal vibe check across the state.

We found 10 real teens in 10 different regions and asked them to show us what summer really feels like. From glow-ups to growing pains. All self-shot. All real. No “hot girl summer” filters. Their stories took over social feeds all summer, reminding teens they’re not alone in the highs and lows. Soluna was there for every peak, dip, and everything in between.

The result? A raw, refreshing look at mental health in the California summer of 2025.
Meet the teens below. One state. A million different states of mind.
