“MindShift”
Creators: Emily
High School Students from CS4ALL NYC
Type of Project:
- Multimedia
Themes of Project:
- Mental Health
About this Project:
I came up with this because I have seen people struggle with this and I think that it is a great way to prevent people from feeling lonely or depressed and it can even help them think twice about doing harm to themselves.
If I were able to develop this, this would have about 8 pages where there is the home, and from there there can be selections to profile, chats, helpful quotes, bible quotes of motivation, notifications, posts from people's stories that relate to mental wellness, and stories that you have liked.

Mindshift feels like a platform that can bring people together and create modern day pen pals! How fun! Great job creating your slides for the presentation and I'm very proud your team wanted to focus on the topic of Mental Health. Chat apps and forums being used to talk about mental health can be a difficult idea to plan with how open the internet is, I would love to hear more on how we will maintain Mindshift as a safe space for all users!
Other apps like Discord, which many users create dedicated servers for communities to come together and discuss mental health, tend to have a UI that encourages the community to work together, publicly, to build this safer space to speak freely. Along with the private chatting features of the program, exploring more into your idea of "posts from people's stories that relate to mental wellness, and stories that you have liked" would be a great step in the right direction!

I think this is a very important topic and something that isn't talked about enough, so this app is something that could really help lots of people. I would love to see this become an actual idea for the real world. Great explanation and design!
