About this Project
We have made it our goal to create an app meant to educate people about mental health and help people of all ages and cultures deal with mental health. We made the decision to pick this topic when we noticed all the very mentally uneducated and we just knew that there needs to be change. When people understand each other, they can be more empathetic and it spreads like wildfire until everyone is emotionally stable.

What the Judges are Saying
This project reflects a strong commitment on the part of its creatives to meet a critical need in the community. It does a good job both of providing useful information and pointing its users toward valuable resources.
This was a very thoughtful topic. There was consideration and beginning research done to help support the need for an application like this. Mental health and awareness is something that many people should learn and know about. I am glad you are aware how important it is to not self-diagnose, but to seek the right support and learn coping mechanisms when possible. Consider better organization of information vs. interactive content and what age groups these are geared towards. You're on the right track!
