• A backyard full of people you’ll be glad you met

No programs. No speeches. Just a really good Sunday.

Would love to see you there.

New parents: your voice matters!

Did you recently welcome a baby? Social Creatures and White Label AI are bringing together small groups of new(ish) parents to help design an app that provides comprehensive postpartum social and mental health support, powered by AI. We want to build the app with you, not just for you.

This focus group is a chance to:
- Share what support actually feels helpful (and what doesn’t)
- Talk honestly about postpartum mental health, connection, and needs
- Help shape a tool to support parents in the early months after birth

Dates: January 14, 1:00pm EST OR January 22, 7:00PM EST
Location: Virtual, via Zoom

$40 compensation for active participation in one 60- to 90-minute session
No tech background needed—just your lived experience as a parent. Your insights will directly influence the design of the app, and the content and resources included.

Recent international data from 11 countries shows that LGBTQ+ people are significantly more likely to be lonely and have a weak social support network.

Most Americans don’t blame lonely people for being lonely. In fact, 65% blame society itself. This shift matters, reframing loneliness not as a personal failure, but as a collective issue rooted in how our communities, workplaces, and culture are structured.

A photo showing a man sitting alone at a rustic table with a bottle and glass, paired with the text: “65% of Americans say our society not caring about community is the reason why there is loneliness in America.” The image evokes a sense of quiet isolation and reflection.
