How will this study be helpful?
We’ll learn how a large group of people with mental health conditions across the country feels about their health, wellness, challenges, and successes during the pandemic. We'll also learn whether and how a life coaching intervention can help people to restart their lives after hard times like a pandemic. We’ll use these results to recommend services and policies that improve the lives of people in mental health recovery.
