Exhibit 99.1
Planet Green Advances AI-Powered Early Mental Health Interventionfor Youth in Post-Pandemic Canada
NEW YORK, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Planet Green Holdings Corp. (“Planet Green”, the “Company”) (NYSE American: PLAG) announced that its subsidiary Fast Approach Inc., (“Fast Approach”), a leader in applied AI technology, today announced a new initiative in mental healthcare: the development of AI-driven conversational agents designed to support early-stage intervention for anxiety and depression, particularly among adolescents. The project is being developed in close collaboration with licensed mental health professionals to ensure clinical responsibility and ethical integrity.
This AI + healthcare initiative comes at a critical time. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Canada is facing an unprecedented youth mental health crisis. Recent studies show that nearly 1 in 3 Canadian teenagers are experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, with some exhibiting signs of emotional dysregulation and aggression. Long wait times and limited access to qualified professionals have left many without adequate support.
Fast Approach aims to address this gap by building AI systems that can engage in safe, supportive, and empathetic conversations with users—especially those who may be in the early stages of mental distress but are not yet receiving formal therapy.
Key Features of the Project Include:
| ● | Empathetic AI Dialogue Systems: Large language models<br>trained to understand and reflect emotional states, respond supportively, and foster trust in conversation. |
|---|---|
| ● | Clinically Informed Interventions: All models are<br>co-designed and validated with input from licensed therapists, guided by evidence-based approaches such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral<br>Therapy). |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Youth-Focused Support: Special attention to language,<br>tone, and concerns relevant to teenagers and young adults navigating mental health challenges in a post-pandemic world. |
| --- | --- |
| ● | Ethical Safeguards: Built-in escalation protocols,<br>privacy protections, and human-in-the-loop supervision to prevent misuse or harm. |
| --- | --- |
“This is not a replacement for human therapists—it’s a bridge,” said Dr. Yiming, Clinical Advisor to the project. “A bridge for the thousands of young people who are struggling but may not yet have access to care. The AI listens, supports, and gently encourages help-seeking behavior.”
Fast Approach is currently engaging with Canadian healthcare partners, school boards, and nonprofit organizations to pilot the solution in select provinces later this year.
