| dc.description.abstract | 1 in 5 people experience mental health challenges, the prevalence of mental health issues globally remains a pressing concern, with a significant proportion of affected individuals not receiving the necessary treatment due to barriers such as stigma, cost, and a shortage of skilled professionals. This report presents the MindPeace project, an online application designed to address these challenges by providing a user-friendly platform that connects working-class individuals aged 20 to 65 with skilled mental health practitioners. MindPeace aims to bridge the gap in access to mental health care, focusing on specific demographics and offering an alternative to informal support and self-medication. The project encompasses a comprehensive suite of features, including booking of sessions, an emergency helpline for crisis support, and a compatibility quiz for personalized counseling experiences. By leveraging technologies such as Cal.com integration for efficient appointment management, secure video chat for confidential sessions, and a robust emergency response system, MindPeace seeks to reduce the reliance on self-medication and improve mental health outcomes for its users. This report outlines the project's objectives, scope, and the functionalities it offers, highlighting its potential to significantly impact the accessibility and quality of mental health care for underserved populations. | |
