A platform to increase online community engagement

We started this initiative to connect people and enhance their sense of social belonging within their community by strengthening their social support systems and networks. Community engagement and social support became increasingly critical during these challenging times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic not only affected those who were infected but also heightened distress and anxiety worldwide. The levels of stress were particularly high in minority communities and among newcomers.
