The study will measure how this program affects your sense of connection and well-being.

If you are randomly chosen for coaching, you would have 10 individual coaching sessions over up to 4 months, where a coach helps you build social connections tailored to your interests. At different time points, you would also complete brief daily check-ins on your smartphone (about 2-5 minutes each, 10 days at a time) and attend assessment visits. If you are in the waitlist group, you would complete the same assessments for 4 months, and then receive the coaching afterward.
