PROJECT SUMMARY
A community-based approach to mental health treatment in the age of social media



This is part of a class project in which students must create a telehealth app based on user research. In conducting my research for this project, mainly through anonymous peer interviews, a common thread among the interviews was that many students with mental health concerns tend to seek out the support of their peers, whether or not they have access to mental health professionals. They note friends and other loved ones as figures who make them feel understood and do not view mental illness as shameful or as a stigma.

In response to these interviews, the solution was to create Gather, a platform that emphasizes community-based care in the age of social media. Users are matched with anonymous support groups and a licensed therapist for a tailored and moderated experience based on their backgrounds and circumstances.
