Our Story

As doctors and parents, we have seen firsthand how overwhelming adolescence can be for teens and the parents trying to support them.

We created EmpowerED in response to a growing gap: while there’s an abundance of parenting advice for young children, there’s much less support for navigating the teenage years when it’s needed most. At the same time, teenagers are searching for honest, evidence-based information about their health, bodies, emotions, and relationships, but are often left relying on social media or unreliable sources.

EmpowerED was developed to bridge this gap by empowering teens and the adults who care for them.


We are more than just an app. EmpowerED is a safe space, a learning hub and a helping hand for teens, parents and educators navigating this wonderful but often tumultuous and unpredictable life stage.

We're here to make growing up a little easier and a lot more

Mission

EmpowerED’s mission is to provide a comprehensive digital platform that delivers reliable, professionally curated resources on adolescent health, mental well-being, and development. By bridging the gap between accessible information and expert knowledge, we aim to equip students, parents, and educators with the tools and confidence to navigate the complexities of modern health challenges.

Vision

To empower Teens, Parents and Educators with trusted, evidence-based health education, fostering healthier, more resilient students and families in today’s digital world.
