+ My passion project is an application that is targeted toward first responders.
|
|
12
|
+ I am very passionate about Mental Health care and awareness for police, firefighters, parametics and EMTs.
|
|
13
|
+ I would like to create an app that will be used by departments that will assist first responders in mental health crisis.
|
|
14
|
+ This app will direct be used by members in mental health crisis. There are far too many members of our front line responders
|
|
15
|
+ that are dealing with depression, substance abuse and destructive behaviors because there is very little emphasis placed on their
|
|
16
|
+ mental health and wellness. My idea is to have an app that would be installed by department members and is there to be used in case of
|
|
17
|
+ mental health emergencies. Most agencies have some sort of crisis counselors or staff that can be utilized in this fashion but
|
|
18
|
+ in most cases these people are hard to locate or get in touch with. I want a way to give ease of access to these couselors and
|
|
19
|
+ other mental health care professionals. I would also like to give the user the option of picking either text, phone or video chat
|
|
20
|
+ to get them out of crisis and usher them toward the next step in treatment or evaluation by a higher level of care professional.
