By hearing and reading the experiences of others–especially paragons of the community–visitors may develop a stronger arsenal of coping skills. The website, as an entire entity, can eventually evolve to become a large collection of videos. These videos range from light-hearted topics like jokes and nice stories to serious content that helps reduce alienation and isolation. Moreover, the generous donors who contribute to ROBIN receive free promotion for their content. This promotion helps expose visitors to new content which could eventually lead to discovering new communities, stimulating content, and other benefits.
The Vision
Over time, ROBIN will evolve into a formidable resource that can distract and educate visitors. Once enough material has been compiled, visitors will have the ability to read through hundreds of stories or watch hours of content from charismatic content creators. Having that safe space can provide positive distractions and resources for distress tolerance.
