Mental Care - Team Awkward Turtles, 7

Inspiration

The inspiration behind Mental Care started from seeing how stressed out all high school students are. Our team all has older siblings or cousins, who we have seen first hand suffer from stress and anxiety. There are not accessible resources available. We wanted to make an app that could change lives since now we had a chance.

What it does

The app is designed to help people with their mental health issues, specifically high school students. It has various resources, such as music therapy, calming activities, and is designed with colours that promote calm, and stress relieving. The most important thing is that my group and I wanted to make it affordable.

How we built it

We created our app by using a website called Marvel. This website was easy to navigate and we added multiple pages with different resources, as well as a login page to customize your account.

What we learned

We learned that winning isn't everything, we were able to learn so many skills within just 36 hours. As first-time hackers, we did not expect to learn how to create a WHOLE app within the time.

What's next for Mental Care - Team Awkward Turtles, 7

Mental Care isn't just stopping at SPARK. We will be expanding our app to accommodate for various types of mental health illnesses. Therefore, we will add more resources and information that will help users, log what their symptoms are and receive professional help from experts. We will also have a booking system where you can book virtual meetings and receive help. We want to build a community and help youth overcome any barriers they may have with Mental Health. We will also be partnering with schools, and kids help the phone to launch our app. Check out our social media to stay updated. @Letsmentalcare
