Description
A person who is not mentally sound typically has a difficult time integrating with the community and society around and this is especially true for young adults as they are going through changes both socially and physically. The current study is focused on developing the design and message framing of a mobile application that aims to promote mental well-being among young adults between 18 and 24 years old. Our application is intended to create awareness within oneself that there might be some mental health issues and to suggest possible steps to alleviate the problem. The goal of the application is to give holistic remedies in order to restore mental well-being among young adults and encourage them to reach out to providers if they feel their issues are more serious.
