Starting today, ‘Here for You’ will promote UAE Digital Wellbeing Council resources to Snapchatters when they search common mental health terms like anxiety, depression, and stress on Snapchat, and are designed to be easily shared with close friends and family to help support one another through the highs and lows.
From our earliest days, Snapchat was designed in a way to empower Snapchatters to express themselves authentically. That’s why we built the platform without public vanity metrics such as public comments and friend counts, and without an unmoderated newsfeed. We have always been inspired by the power that real friendships have in determining health and happiness — and this is particularly true among young people. As a platform made for close friends, we believe Snapchat has a unique opportunity to make a difference and have built a suite of in-app resources and features to support our community.
