Inspiration

Good mental health is not just about not being sick; it means feeling well in every way. When we are mentally healthy, we can use our skills, handle stress, do good work, and help our community. We saw that even being a major topic of concern mental health is being ignored and is not considered to be a topic to talk about in India because of which the patients have lack of resources and they start bottling up their emotions which make the situation even worse. Even if we talk about stats- Loneliness declared in pandemic: 1 in 4 adults suffering from it. So to reduce this ratio we are here with a solution.

What it does

Provides live sessions by psychiatrists, survivors, and spiritual leaders. Offers an avatar-based mental health chatbot for guidance and support. Connects users with other people located near them who are also facing mental health challenges. Helps users to build a support network and overcome their mental health challenges. Provides users with a variety of resources and support options

How we built it

Design the interfaces using Figma. Code the frontend using HTML and CSS. Integrate the NLTK and Torch libraries for the response of contact support. Deploy the backend using Flask and javascript. Integrate Firebase for authorization and login using Google OAuth. Integrate psychiatrist, NGO resources, and contact support data so that users can reach them at no cost. Create a "people near you" functionality to help users navigate and connect with other people in their area.
