UnPlug Mentorship Program
Social Media First Aid
Take Control of Your Well-being
Unplug is a collaboration between the Social Media Research Institute (SMRI) and the Purpose Outreach Center (TPOC) in support of joint workshops and a peer-to-peer mentorship program.
Social Media First Aid is not intended to replace professional mental health services or emergency interventions but rather acts as an immediate response to offer support, empathy, and guidance during crisis situations on social media. It aims to bridge the gap between the moment of distress and the availability of formal help, ensuring individuals feel heard and understood while encouraging them to seek appropriate assistance.
