Today we focused on making a plan for this week and adding additional research information that was published over the weekend. Friday afternoon, I actually received a call from Jolanda (the founder of JoinUs who we talked with last week) to ask if I wanted to do an interview with NOS about loneliness amongst youngsters and the sudden change of plans that counts for a lot of students. It was a really cool opportunity , and although they already found another participant in the mean time, I was flattered that she thought of us.
That article from NOS has been published last Saturday, where they talked about the research from I&O which we have already incorporated into our literature. However, it was really interesting to read about the perspectives from people that were already struggling with mental health issues, and how this corona crisis has affected them.
We decided that this week we will focus on brainstorming for a solution and doing research on solutions that are already out there. The brainstorming part is what we started with today.
I will keep you updated.
