About
Our aim is to give support for youths who need help with their mental health, that is if they are facing stress or depression we give them a chance to talk with our volunteers and express their feelings.
Description
Since there is stigma surrounding mental health, especially among the youth, they are afraid to talk to someone and reach out for help. As a solution we thought of project "Sithivili", a chat platform, which is free and can be used by anyone. We make sure that our users are kept anonymous.
Therefore, we are looking for volunteers who would chat to these users about their problems and guide them towards mental health professionals if needed. Features : Anonymous chat Emergency contact details Awareness Locations of mental health centers Current version : Completed anonymous chat, locations of mental health centers and emergency contact details.
Also includes a quote of the day feature which shows a motivational quote daily. Future plans: Complete awareness feature, add a professional details feature. For example, details of psychologists, psychiatrists and hospitals.
