<p>GiGi was created by Scilla Andreen, a filmmaker, mother, and mental health advocate who lost a child to suicide. After years of working closely with youth, families, educators, and wellness leaders, she wanted to build a tool that could meet people where they are—without stigma or barriers. GiGi fills the gap between moments of struggle and moments of connection. Her purpose is to help people regulate, reframe, and rebuild trust—with themselves and each other. She encourages real-world interaction, not isolation—because community is the real elixir.</p>
<p>People often say it reminds them of a caring grandmother—which feels right. GiGi is warm, wise, and kind. Others say it reminds them of &quot;gigabyte,&quot; symbolizing knowledge. And some even hear echoes of the GI Bill, making GiGi a great fit for military families, too.</p>

<p>Nope. GiGi is built to be a safe, welcoming space for everyone. There&#39;s no hidden agenda—no religious or political leaning. GiGi responds from a place of curiosity and love, not fear or judgment. Every conversation is rooted in kindness, patience, authenticity, and integrity. GiGi&#39;s goal is to support your growth and connection, no matter who you are or where you come from.</p>
<p>GiGi is powered by the same world-class knowledge base behind the Creative Coping Toolkit (CCT)—a U.S.-born, film and evidence-based mental health education program used in over 90 countries. It&#39;s been licensed by thousands of schools, statewide Departments of Education, Fortune 500 companies, afterschool programs, and arms of the U.S. government including the Federal Reserve and multiple Air Force installations. The Toolkit has also been included in federal research studies on social media, addiction, anxiety, belonging, and behavioral health. Until now, it was only accessible through community and institutional licenses. GiGi makes this trusted, science-based support available to individuals—anytime, anywhere, in any language.</p>
