Mental health app - brutally honest feedback wanted ππ»ββοΈ
After an especially tumultuous 2 years (including surviving cancer), we've finally got a beta of our app going. Mental health has been such a huge personal struggle for me, and I know I'm not alone in the last year having been ESPECIALLY challenging.I'm super excited and nervous to have this app in beta, but I know it's at a stage where we need lots of feedback.If you're someone who struggles with their mental health, and would be up for hopping on a call to try out the app (and be willing to give me super frank honest feedback; I promise I cannot be offended), I'd seriously love your help! ππ»

melissang·Jun 11, 2021melissang·Jun 11, 2021Hi Karen, we want to make knowledge about mental health accessible and engaging to people - from therapy skills, research findings to tools that give you insight into habits that influence your mental health. Let me know if you're up for a feedback call and I'll reach out via PM to set up a time :)
AlisonD·Jun 22, 2021AlisonD·Jun 22, 2021Hi Alicia - I am happy to help and to discuss where I'm coming from! Also, if you're interested in a younger person's input, I've got a 21-year-old daughter who may be willing to participate and comes from a good perspective. Congrats on your battle against cancer -- that is AWESOME! And best of success with this app which is combating another tough opponent

Hi @melissang! Congrats on the beta!! Very happy to review and provide feedback.

Hey Candice, thank you so much! Iβve dropped you a PM. π
I was a product manager/UXer for mobile apps and now work in user-centred content design. Iβve tried a few different mental health apps and havenβt yet found one that fits (I had one that was perfect and then they changed it!). Happy to give feedback both from a personal and professional perspective. And I can absolutely be brutally honest (but Iβll be constructive while doing so!)
