STORIES BEHIND SOA’S SUCCESS
From Struggles to Strength
When we started SOA, it was driven by a simple yet powerful belief: everyone deserves access to tools that help them understand and improve their mental well-being. I remember one of our first cases—a young student who was struggling academically and socially. His teachers thought he lacked motivation, but through our assessments, we discovered he was dealing with undiagnosed anxiety. With the right guidance and support, he not only overcame his challenges but also became a confident and active member of his class. That experience reinforced our mission and showed us the profound impact we could make. It hasn’t always been easy—we’ve faced skepticism and resource constraints—but moments like these remind us why SOA exists: to create a space where awareness leads to transformation and growth.
