Description

Just like everyone gets sick or injured at some point, everyone deals with a mental health issue at some point, too. Friend2Friend simulation for teens where you can practice having a conversation with a friend who you’re concerned about. Learn about mental wellness, how to recognize signs of distress and signs that a friend might be thinking about suicide. Practice reaching out to a friend you’re concerned about.

In Friend2Friend, you’ll meet Michael and Ana, teens who have both struggled with stressful situations in their lives. You’ll learn about how overall health includes both your mind and your body. Then you’ll take on the role of Michael and navigate an interactive role-play conversation with “virtual” Ana to help her open up and strategize how to help her connect to a trusted adult. Listening is important, and so is knowing that it’s ok to ask about suicide.

Great start, good effort

This is a really good start! I’m amazed at how much progress has been made towards in teaching children about mental health. So much so, that as an adult whose dealt with suicidal ideation & seen others go through it, I even found it useful. Parents, counselors, therapists, teachers, others; this is a great starting point for teaching kids, especially teens how to talk to each other about stress, anxiety, and suicide prevention. There’s a lot to be expanded on, & I think apps like this have a moral & ethical responsibility to ASAP update and share about privacy and data tracking and usage.

Give advice with a grain of salt

When helping a friend it’s better to give advice than not as long as you explain for example “if I was in your situation this is how I would respond and here is how it could help you” or “from my experience this is what I did it may not work the same for you so make just take it with a grain of salt”
That’s my only problem with this app other than that it’s an incredible app

I dunno this is pretty cool

It’s kinda obscure and it’s really strange? The graphics and animation is kinda wonky but it adds to the experience
