About this Project
Our nonprofit app gives teenagers a safe, supportive space to explore their emotions, set personal goals, and build healthier habits. Through guided tools and self-reflection exercises, it tracks moods and behaviors, offering personalized suggestions to improve mental and physical well-being. By empowering teens with self-awareness and growth strategies, we help them navigate challenges and thrive.

Professional Feedback
Mental health is a serious matter and I like how you took the time to extensively research the issue, through online sources and survey questions, to be able to properly address it. Your competitive research also does a great job of identifying the resources that people are lacking.
When it comes to the design of the app, I love the personalized support that the AI provides. The ability for users to keep their struggles confidential while also receiving help to work through them, through recommendations, dialogue, and positive reinforcement is incredibly valuable.
As a next step, think through what other features could benefit users. For example, easy access to support hotlines can help deescalate a tense situation.
