In the coming months, we hope to continue our community outreach by creating additional events and by augmenting our online presence. This will enable us to reach even more students who may be struggling with stress.
We are currently exploring the integration of our AI Stress Counselor into a tangible voice assistant device. We are specifically attempting to communicate with Amazon to see whether we can have such a feature integrated into an Alexa. Our goal is to place this Alexa device at our school library pop-up space during the upcoming school year, allowing students to easily access supportive stress management tools in real time, even when no one else is around. This would make mental health assistance within the school setting less cumbersome, less complicated, and less stigmatized.
We also would be interested in seeking partnerships with local organizations with the aim of offering increased opportunities for students. With the support and funding of other organizations, we would setup workshop and guest speaker events with the involvement of experts who will relate the pressures experienced by students and how they can counteract burnout.
We look forward to Stress Less H.Q. being a steady, supportive, and evolving aid for students in the fluctuations of academic life. We can’t wait to take these next steps and make an even bigger impact.
