Announcing our third winner for the Techweek competition App Launchpad π
10% of the submissions were to do with mental health, so we asked if 5 of them wanted to join forces - with each of their ideas inside a single app.
It turns out that they are each from 4 different high schools, which wasn't planned or considered, but this app has the following features:
- CBT affirmations you can choose to favourite
- request an affirmation from someone in the community
- full collection of resources and contact numbers of agencies already in this space
- one click button to text or call a helpline
- saved numbers with pre-recorded help messages for when things are dire or help is needed
We couldn't ignore the heartbeat of the community, and talking to principals told us this was the number 1 issue they're dealing with at school.
The students who are joining forces are Mack from Boys High, Krisha from JPC, Isherveer from Heights, Te Rangi from Lakes and Janine from JPC.
We love that they're keen to join forces and we look forward to launching this much needed mental health app with them πβ¨π
