ABOUT
YOUR AIRPLANE MODE
Your Airplane Mode (YAM) is a free online mental health space that allows users to
anonymously share their thoughts and ideas as well as listen and talk to peers all
over the world. By facilitating a supportive community, YAM strives to provide a
safe space for users to meet peers similar to themselves and form connections
through conversation and interaction.
Mute Everything
But Yourself,
Let Your Mind Fly High!
Similarly to how turning on airplane mode on your phone will mute notifications and turn off internet connection so that you can focus on something else, YAM will allow you to step away from reality, and focus on yourself. In addition, the idea that airplane mode protects users’ privacy on devices coincides with the fact that YAM is completely anonymous and is a safe space free of judgment and prejudice.
WHY DID WE START YAM?
YAM is here to support your mental health, achieve self-empowerment,
and develop a positive attitude towards your life.
We will help you to love yourself more and be confident.
“48% of young adults struggled with
mental health

Among those who reported poor mental health,
36% said they did not have access to counseling
or mental health therapy.
