After years of isolation, disrupted routines, and digital dependence, many students are struggling to reconnect — not just academically, but emotionally and socially.
Today’s youth report higher levels of loneliness, anxiety, and disconnection than any generation before them. Research indicates that we are living in a loneliness epidemic fueled by numerous factors, and post-pandemic life is complex and not getting any easier.

At Outside the Box Institute, we create engaging and memorable mental fitness events that promote stigma- free conversations and connections. Activities include, but are not limited to: student-led panels, games, yoga & relaxation sessions, mental health resources — all designed to boost mental fitness and social health.

At OTBI, we believe that mental fitness is just as important as physical fitness. Our interactive, student-centered approach combines learning, fun, and well-being, helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in school and life.
