Assisted journaling for mental health

Mental health is hard

• Difficult to understand when to get help for mental health
• Hard to know if you are just sad that day, hopeless or depressed.
• Talking to someone prematurely is uncomfortable.��Hopelessness is not a disease but it has an effect�(eating habits, sleep patterns & social relations)

• Through text, only need to know the number. Aimed towards younger gen Z
• You don’t have to be see anyone (yet)
• - Provides shareable reports to send to doctor/therapist
