Inspiration : I have had talks myself of mental health with my Latina mother and my friends of color have also shared their struggles when it came to opening up about their mental health to their families. Not only that but I saw a trend of tik toks made by POC talking about their own struggles even in therapy due to the cultural disconnect between them and their white therapist.
What it does : It will act as a hub for resources for marginalized communities to find a mental health professional of a similar racial/ethnic/cultural background and one day will be a place where there will also be resources to help POC bring up topics of mental health in their communities where there is a heavy stigma around the subject
How I built it
Challenges I ran into
Accomplishments that I'm proud of : I made a fact generator!! As well as a drop down navbar!! And I liked the classes I used to make organizing my content a lot easier.
What I learned
What's next for Mental Health Resources for Marginalized Communities: Add more resources to each section for the groups of color, as well as more specific resources based on religion, sexuality, and gender identity. I would also love to add resources that could help users bring up topics of mental health to their families and communities to start reducing the stigma and encouraging acceptance of these discussions
