Clarify what feels difficult
The user can explore what they are going through through guided questions, check-ins, and private notes.
Not therapy. A first-step support space.
What is HarmoStart?
HarmoStart is a confidential first-step space for young adults who feel they may need help, but do not yet know how to explain it, where to go, or what to say.
HarmoStart helps with the moment before asking for help.
Many young adults delay asking for support because they are unsure whether their difficulty is legitimate, who to contact, or how to describe what is happening. HarmoStart helps prepare that first step.
Prepare the first words
HarmoStart helps transform hesitation into a first message or a clearer explanation for an appointment.
Move toward real support
HarmoStart can point the user toward appropriate resources such as a university service, trusted adult, professional, helpline, doctor, or therapist.
HarmoStart helps young adults take the first step without pretending that an app can replace human support.
It is a preparation and orientation space, not a therapist.How HarmoStart works
The experience is designed to be calm, private, and simple. The user does not need to know exactly what is wrong before starting.
Start privately
The user begins with a guided flow or check-in, at their own pace, without pressure to explain everything perfectly.
Understand the first step
HarmoStart helps identify what kind of support may be relevant to explore, without claiming to verify eligibility or make a diagnosis.
Prepare what to say
The user can prepare a first message, an appointment note, or an Orientation Dossier they can edit, keep private, or choose to share.
Preparation tools
HarmoStart can support the user before a first contact with check-ins, private notes, guided questions, and first-message preparation.
The goal is to reduce the barrier of “I do not know what to say.”
Orientation Dossier
The Orientation Dossier is a structured summary that can help a young adult organize what they may want to say before contacting a support service, therapist, doctor, or other professional.
It is controlled by the user. It can be edited, kept private, deleted, or shared only with consent.
HarmoStart Campus
HarmoStart Campus helps universities offer students a confidential first-step space before they contact existing support services.

- No individual answers
- No private notes
- No check-ins
- No Orientation Dossiers
- No personal topics
- No therapist or service contacts
