Nod is an app that allows people to notice our ideas that we have about friendship, address maybe some misconceptions that we have about making new social connections and then give skills to support young people making new connections and going deeper with the ones that they have.
Imagine being a college student, already navigating the complexities of young adulthood, and then a global pandemic hits. That's the backdrop for this episode, where Stephen Hays chats with Dr. Danielle Ramo, Senior Director of Research at HopeLab. They dive into the launch of the Nod app, designed to tackle loneliness among young people during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. Dr.
Ramo, a clinical psychologist with a wealth of experience in mental health and substance use, shares how Nod helps users rethink their ideas about friendship, address misconceptions, and build meaningful connections. This isn't just another app; it's a lifeline for many struggling with isolation. The conversation also touches on the broader role of technology in mental health support, emphasizing the importance of reducing stigma and encouraging help-seeking behavior.
If you're curious about innovative solutions to mental health challenges or looking for ways to support a young person in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
