Abstract

Humans are sociable creatures by nature. Our ability to survive and grow is dependent on our ability to connect with others. Consequently, loneliness and social isolation has been linked to health issues including cognitive decline, lower educational performance, poorer health outcomes, vulnerability, depression, heart disease and it has been highlighted as a public health issue. This paper is based on the VicHealth Mental Wellbeing Strategy 2019-2023 on promoting social connections among the young people. The major aim of the app is to help the youngsters in improving their mental wellness and general quality of life through cognitive therapy, behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based therapy.
