The Third Self Project is an evolving public health initiative built through curiosity, research, and community. You don't have to be an expert to participate.
Conversations about digital life need researchers, students, clinicians, educators, artists, designers, writers — and everyday people who live this every day.

Claims require sources. We distinguish research from opinion, always.
Digital life is lived differently by everyone. We listen before we label.
Hard topics deserve honest conversation — without shame, panic, or moralizing.
Disagreement is fine. Dismissiveness is not. Every voice in the room matters.
Public health is ultimately about people — not platforms, not metrics, not algorithms.
Explore digital public health as a field — and contribute your perspective from the inside of online life.
Partner on studies, share findings, and help translate complex evidence for public audiences.
Bring clinical insight to conversations about how digital environments affect patient wellbeing.
Shape how research is communicated — from editorial design to accessible public education materials.
Use our resources in classrooms, workshops, and community programs — and tell us what works.
Access evidence-based sources and expert context for stories about digital life and public health.
Navigate conversations about screens, social media, and identity with grounded, non-alarmist guidance.
No credentials required. If you live digital life and want to understand it better, you belong here.
We partner with universities, research institutions, nonprofits, clinics, and independent creators who share our commitment to evidence-based public health in the digital age.
This work is early and growing. If you'd like to help sustain it, these pathways will open as the project develops — no pressure, no urgency.
Support independent public health research and education — funding details coming soon.
Institutional partnerships for research, events, and community programs.
Fund specific studies or publication series with full editorial independence.
Tell someone who would find this work meaningful — word of mouth is how movements grow.
Writing, design, research, translation, community moderation — all valued.
Questions, ideas, collaboration proposals, or resource suggestions — we'd like to hear from you.
