Hi there! We are looking for students with UX and research interests in loneliness and wellbeing. The project aims to build prototype wireframes and research that can be employed for mobile application development. The students will be assisting a team of 2 principal researchers, an engineering team and three advisors who have a clinical psychology and psychotherapy background.

At Honest Empathy, we want to improve mental healthcare through innovative support groups and therapeutic journaling. Together, let’s improve mental wellness and make isolation a thing of the past.

Positions available: 5

Project scope:

Current features we plan to build include activities and games that users can play when getting to know each other and building a friendship. A student would work on one activity/game and deliver the following work product -

1. Develop low and high-fidelity wireframes that our engineers can use to make our feature concepts a reality (Web app wireframes which are mobile responsive)

2. Summarize research findings into a paper that assesses user pains and how our solution can improve to solve critical pain.

At Honest Empathy our executive team will offer one-on-one mentorship to each student and coach them throughout the project. We will begin by understanding the student’s professional and career goals and learn how this project can help them build skills to achieve those goals. We will create an action plan for the project's duration to help them gain the skills they want. We will have check-ins 2-3 times a week to work together, understand their progress, remove blockers and coach them. Team meetings will be conducted through Zoom and phone calls.

Our executive team and advisors have backgrounds in:

• Product Management
• Government Policy
• Psychology and Clinical practice
• Organizational Strategy
• Full stack software development
• Technology Consulting
• Academic Research

We will open our network to each student and make introductions for them to learn more about their desired field. At the end of the project, the student may receive the opportunity to continue a summer internship, based on performance.
