Mental Health Awareness

The Project

This project is focused on raising mental health awareness among teenagers, particularly in Maharashtra, where many face emotional struggles due to a lack of support and education. Inspired by the growing need to address mental well-being in both urban and rural communities, the Scratch-based program uses interactive questions to help users identify signs of stress and anxiety. It guides them on when to seek professional help and when self-care might be appropriate. By presenting realistic scenarios and providing supportive responses, the program works to reduce stigma around mental health and encourage open conversations. One challenge was ensuring the questions were sensitive and relatable while still being educational and empowering for young users.
