TikTok-Style Curriculum, Near-Peer Mentoring, and Family Support Sessions Help Families in Crisis


The sisu experience

The sisu platform offers near-peer mentoring, family support specialists, and a TikTok-style curriculum.

The mental health crisis among teens is reaching unprecedented levels, and waitlists for licensed providers are dangerously long, leading many teens to the ER to seek care. To address this critical issue, sisu has launched a new platform to provide teens and their families with the tools and support they need before a licensed mental healthcare provider is available. 

Sisu offers all of its users a suite of personalized care, which includes:

  • Near-peer mentoring for teens, provided by young adults with training to support teens and respond to potential crisis situations.
  • Therapist-approved curriculum to build mental health skills, delivered in TikTok-style videos featuring real teens.
  • Family support sessions, led by licensed clinicians acting in a coaching capacity.
  • Unique ecosystem approach empowering teens and caregivers to strengthen their relationships and build mental health skills together.

Built on an intentionally low-tech platform, sisu is created to be accessible to all teens ages 13-18 and their families across the United States.  A family subscription starts at $30 per week. 

"As a mom, I know that we're running out of time to give our teens the mental healthcare they need," says Erin Little, founder and CEO of sisu. "We created sisu to give teens and their families a safe, therapist-approved platform to get the support and tools they need before a licensed provider is available."

TikTok-style curriculum and 1:1 support

Upon joining sisu, a teen is matched with a near-peer mentor who provides coaching support through asynchronous messaging. The teen also works through self-paced curriculums delivered through interactive content and short videos of therapist-led sessions featuring real teens.

"So many teens are going on TikTok to seek mental health support, but that can be dangerous because of harmful or misleading content," says Little. "Knowing that, we designed sisu to deliver therapist-approved mental health content in the digestible, authentic format that Gen Z teens want."

Caregivers receive equal priority on sisu, where they will meet regularly with a family support specialist. The teen can join those sessions, or the caregiver can use those sessions to focus on their own mental health needs. 

Available to schools, organizations, and families

Families can join a cohort focused on "Stress and Managing Anxiety" or "Grief and Loss" as soon as April 1. Sisu, which is FERPA and COPPA-compliant and has been piloted in several schools, is now available for school use. Additionally, sisu is available for organizations as an employee benefit.

On May 28, 2024, Epoch Studios is screening their first ever film, "The Firing Squad," in Phoenix, AZ. Select local faith and community leaders, as well as members of the media and other guests, will have the opportunity to preview the powerful story of redemption ahead of the nationwide release on August 2, 2024.

Based on a profound true story of finding hope in the face of death, celebrated Christian filmmaker Tim Chey’s “The Firing Squad” follows the story of three convicted criminals who were sentenced to be executed by firing squad in an Indonesian prison camp in 2015. As the countdown to their deaths begins, a remarkable sequence of events unfolds, which drew international attention to the transformative power of faith and hope that transcends our darkest moments. 

"The Firing Squad" promises a thought-provoking cinematic experience, starring prominent actor Kevin Sorbo (“God’s Not Dead” and “Let There Be Light”) alongside breakout star James Barrington. Talent is available for Phoenix area interviews in conjunction with the May 28, 2024 screening. A trailer of the film is available for viewing at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSsOE7WwsZ8

“At its core, this film is a story of courage, resilience and the transformative power of salvation through Jesus Christ,” said Chey. “I’m an evangelist first and a filmmaker second. Beyond mere entertainment, I pray the film will serve as a catalyst for introspection, compelling audiences to embrace the grace and love of Jesus Christ.”

The creators of the film want to see it win 1 million souls to Christ.

Sorbo, a vocal advocate for family friendly entertainment, has emphasized the importance of supporting faith-based projects like The Firing Squad. 

“In today’s entertainment landscape, it’s crucial that we rally behind projects that uphold Christian values and share stories of faith,” said Sorbo. “We have a battle to win in Hollywood. Films like this are powerful tools for spreading messages of hope and inspiration.”
