Inspiration

Having personally battled depression while belonging to the middle class, I understand the challenges of seeking counseling due to both the difficulties it entails and the associated stigma. Moreover, parental approval can be hard to come by. However, from these struggles, a solution emerged: a way to address these issues and provide accessible support.

What it does

we aimed to create a platform that offers educational articles, coping strategies, mindfulness exercises, and access to mental health professionals. Our goal is to reduce stigma, promote self-care, and contribute positively to the well-being of individuals seeking help.

How we built it

Our mental health website was constructed based on our own personal experiences. Having navigated through the challenges of mental health issues, we channeled our insights into creating a platform that resonates with those facing similar struggles. Our website is a reflection of our journey, designed to provide relatable content, practical resources, and a sense of community for individuals seeking support and understanding in their mental health battles.
