When the university and Grit Digital Health began working on YOU@College, they tried to make it as appealing to college-aged people as possible, Demers says. Instead of making an online tool dealing mainly with mental health, they organized the website around three ideas: succeed, thrive and matter. ‘Succeed’ relates to issues of success, both in education and one’s career. ‘Thrive’ relates more to issues of physical and mental health. And ‘matter’ relates to finding a purpose and connecting to others at one’s college or university. When a student first uses YOU@College, they are given a short test that examines the student’s personal qualities in all three areas. Based on the results, the website suggests news stories and videos to students. It also has links to other materials that offer advice on how to deal with issues they may struggle with. Demers notes all of the site’s material is based on the latest mental health studies, takes into consideration current events, and is presented in a clear and enjoyable way. However, most important of all, he argues, it makes suggestions for school-based resources students might use to deal with their problems.
