“Happy Again” is a project in which we aim to develop an online self-help platform, based on scientific evidence, for people who are grieving after the loss of a loved one. In this application, we focus on the social needs of the bereaved and improving social connectedness with the supporting environment. This way, we hope to prevent or reduce symptoms of complicated grief.

The target group of the application is adolescents and young adults. This group is experienced in using digital applications and is expected to be more willing to use an application during the grief process.

Your challenge will be to design one or multiple features of the grief platform: what should the content be, what should it look like, and how should it function? You can address this challenge from one or multiple perspectives, such as a psychological perspective or technological perspective. You might create a prototype on paper or program a functional application, or something in between.
