Inspiration
During this worldwide pandemic, it's even easier to fall victim to a state of declining mental health. Suicide rates have been viciously high in the past few years. If we can provide comfort to even one person struggling, then we're glad we made that difference.
What it does
AssessMental provides countless resources that attempt to ease the state of mind, such as calming audios, self-care videos, therapy talks, and tips for combatting negative thoughts written by credible sources. In case of a serious emergency, crisis hotlines are also provided. AssessMental also carries a test that allows people to discover whether they should consider reaching out for professional help.
