Go Play Inside and Make Some Real Friends



We’ve all heard the expression: “go play outside and make some real friends.” But in an increasingly online interconnected world, can we just as readily make connections virtually? Join our panel of mental health professionals, content creators, and online community makers as we discuss the ways that virtual places can provide the opportunity for very real connections including ways you can engage with and build relationships online, and the pitfalls and challenges that come with virtual meeting spaces.


Panelists:

  • Hayden Jones (Moderating)

  • Dr. Elizabeth Kilmer (she/they), Clinical Psychologist, Respec Psychological Services, @Doctor Kilmer

  • Dani Donovan @DaniDonovan (she/her) [CEO Anti-Boring Project, Anti-Planner]

  • Amanda (Manda) Farough (she/her), Multiclasser, Independent, Bluesky: WritualMagic.bsky.social
