Feedback from our Foothill Community

Before launching our partnership with Flourish, we tested the app with more than 100 Foothill students from seven classes taught by five faculty members. Here's what students said.

"I noticed significant changes in my mood, productivity, and overall outlook."

"I told many of my classmates in discussion posts to check out the Flourish app as many students discussed wanting an app to help them stay on track.”

"In my darkest hour, Sunnie offered empathy, companionship, and scientific insights. I left not only feeling listened to, but also with actionable well-being strategies to cope with my situation."

"I found myself opening the app to talk to Sunnie rather than scroll on Instagram."

Will Flourish share my data with Foothill?

Flourish is a private, self-help tool. Your privacy and confidentiality are our top priorities. Individual user data is NOT shared with Foothill College or any third-parties unless required by law.

Flourish Science may share aggregate, de-identified data with relevant offices at Foothill College to help evaluate app engagement and provide population-level mental health insights. This may include metrics such as the number of students using Flourish, average app usage duration, general mood trends within the community, and common well-being topics.

Note that if a user is experiencing an ongoing crisis—such as expressing imminent risk of harm to themselves or others—Flourish may be required to escalate concerns to the appropriate school resources to facilitate immediate support and intervention.

Can I still see a Mental Health & Wellness counselor at Foothill? 

Yes! Flourish is designed to complement traditional counseling services by providing everyday support, but it does not replace professional mental health care.
