4 . PeerUp is pairing up and helping out students who are looking to improve their mental health. It serves as a space for students to speak anonymously (匿名地) about their mental health journeys with peer (同龄人) supporters. As a bridge between the student body and UCLA Counseling and Psychological Services, PeerUp addresses the barriers many students face in accessing mental health resources, said co-founder and third-year psychology student Carrie Lee.
Peer supporters on the site complete mental health leadership training with the Resilience In Your Student Experience Center to learn how to address emotional issues like interpersonal problems. Lee said in a 20- to 40-minute video or text conversation, a student can talk to a peer who may have experienced similar struggles.
PeerUp offers support in both English and Chinese to serve the campus community of international students. Lee said PeerUp is devoted to ensuring students who speak Chinese can speak anonymously in their native language whenever needed. “Students are much more comfortable reaching out to people they know come from a similar culture,” she said. “I think it is really important to offer services to the different communities we have at UCLA.”
PeerUp co-founder and peer supporter Yutong Feng said the most rewarding part of her work was students’ willingness to talk with PeerUp, including the five students who connected with supporters in the first week.
In terms of future growth and accessibility, Lee said the PeerUp team hopes to expand the number of languages offered, make appointments for students who cannot make it to drop-in hours and use different platforms for voice calls and messaging. She said UCLA, as the first university to do a full test run, is providing a model for other schools to launch their own PeerUp programs and ensure students are taking care of their mental health.

7 . When 76-year-old Antoinette-Marie Williams played 17-year-old Emmett Daniels in chess for the first time, she gave Daniels a run for his money. Paired through DOROT, a New York organization which was launched in 1976, they are a perfect match. “I was a good opponent for him. I don’t think he expected it.” Williams told the CVS Health blog Fortune Well. Their weekly games have led Daniels and Williams to a cross-generational relationship that they both enjoy. Williams and Daniels’ relationship disproves the idea that people of different generations have little in common.
Since its founding, DOROT has achieved a reputation of excellence and innovation in the fields of aging services. Volunteers of young ages offer critical resources to older adults, in services specific to the person’s needs and interests, with the ultimate goal of lessening loneliness of the old.
Loneliness has been recognized as a significant social issue for many years, but the classification of loneliness as an epidemic(流行病) has emerged only in recent years. In 2018, the UK government appointed a Minister for Loneliness, highlighting the increasing concern around the issue. This followed the publication of the 2017 report by the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, which found that loneliness was a growing social epidemic and called for a national strategy to address the issue.
Fortunately, there are ways to battle loneliness, including the intervention in the lives of isolated seniors by organizations like DOROT. It advocates building a support network by reaching out to family and friends, joining a community or social group, or volunteering to connect with like-minded people. The connection between Williams and Daniels shows that these inter-generational relationships play an important role in reducing loneliness and adding joy to the lives of all the participants, young and old.
Another way to battle loneliness is to use technology to stay connected with loved ones which fosters meaning and purpose through online activities and conversations. Practicing self-care is also encouraged, as is being patient because strong relationships take time and effort to create.
