# Somethings

> Somethings is a New York-based digital mental health company that connects teens and young adults (ages 13-26) with trained, certified near-peer mentors in their 20s for real-time text and video support. Built around lived experience rather than clinical therapy alone, every mentor is background-checked, certified as a peer specialist, and supervised by licensed clinicians. The company sells primarily to states, Medicaid managed-care plans, schools, and community organizations as an early-intervention layer in the youth mental health system.
