#33, Suzi Godson, Co-founder & Co-CEO, MeeToo: Social Solutions For Social Problems

As Co-founder and Co-CEO of MeeToo, Suzi Godson has built an app that allows young adults aged 11 to 25 to anonymously seek and offer advice from peers in their age range. With real life moderators making sure the advice is sound and signposted, 50k students now use MeeToo and they’ve recently launched a mirror version, for teachers. We discuss what different age groups are worried about and the support teachers need, for themselves and to better aid their students.
