Overview
My program, 'You Got This!' is an app that provides affirmations and encouragement for people who are struggling with their mental health. The idea was that new affirmations would load for the user each day, but since this is just a prototype, I did not go that far. Mental health is a huge problem, not just in Connecticut, but in the entire country. I hope to help tackle the issue of self-harm and suicide rates. I was inspired by 2 things. The first was my experience in the NAACP, as we deal with the prosperity of people of color in our community, including mental health. The second inspiring factor was myself. In the past few years, my own mental health hasn't been well, but still improving. I want to make sure nobody else will have to deal with this and wish everyone the best!
