A space for comfort, connection, and meaningful growth.
General Introduction
SOLACE is a social startup project founded by Nguyen Ngoc Hoang Nhien, aiming to raise awareness of mental health and create a positive space for connection among teenagers and young people. In today's society, academic pressure, social expectations, and the challenges of growing up are becoming increasingly significant. As a result, many young people struggle to express their emotions, seek understanding, and take care of their own mental well-being.
In response to this reality, SOLACE was established with the mission of becoming a trusted companion for teenagers, helping them open up, connect with others, and grow through meaningful conversations. The name “SOLACE” represents comfort, healing, and encouragement—core values that the project strives to spread throughout the youth community.

Each card contains thought-provoking questions that encourage users to share their thoughts, emotions, experiences, and personal perspectives on relatable topics such as emotions, academic stress, friendships, family relationships, self-confidence, future aspirations, and mental health.

Our Journey
01
The first version of SOLACE focuses on creating meaningful face-to-face conversations through a carefully designed set of questions tailored to the psychological needs of teenagers. The card deck serves as a connection-building tool, helping young people feel safer and more comfortable when discussing difficult topics while also encouraging empathetic listening and mutual understanding.
02
Building upon the foundation of the first version, SOLACE continues to evolve by integrating digital technology to enrich the user experience. Each card category is connected to:
By combining a physical product with digital content, SOLACE is more than just a conversation card deck—it is a comprehensive ecosystem dedicated to supporting the mental well-being of young people.
Our Story
This project began with a simple observation: many teenagers have a lot to say, but not always a safe or comfortable space to say it.
In school life, students often talk about grades, deadlines, activities, and future goals. Yet conversations about emotions, stress, self-doubt, friendship struggles, or family pressure are often left unspoken.
We wanted to create something that could make those conversations easier to begin. That is why we developed an Emotional Conversation Card Deck—a product that feels simple and approachable, but opens the door to deeper reflection and connection.
Each card is carefully designed to help young people explore their inner world, listen to others, and realize that they are not alone in what they feel. Our project is not only about selling a card deck. It is about building a tool that encourages emotional awareness, empathy, and positive communication among teenagers.
Where We Are Going
Our Future
Our vision is to become a youth-centered mental wellbeing brand that creates accessible, interactive, and meaningful tools for teenagers.
We hope to build a community where young people feel safe to express themselves, reflect on their experiences, and support one another through honest conversations.
In the future, we aim to expand beyond the card deck into journals, reflection kits, workshops, podcasts, and online community platforms. But for now, our journey begins with one main product: a card deck that helps young people talk about what truly matters.
Our Purpose
Our mission is to help teenagers understand themselves better and connect with others more meaningfully.
We do this by creating conversation-based products that combine emotional reflection, youth-friendly design, and digital content. Through our conversation card deck, podcast episodes, and reflection activities, we aim to make mental wellbeing more approachable, interactive, and relatable for students.
We also strive to expand access to emotional wellbeing resources for underserved youth, ensuring that meaningful conversations, emotional support, and opportunities for self-growth are available to every young person, regardless of their background.
