Since you're targeting teenagers, work with schools to get an idea of issues that they’ve seen arise, and other youth organisations as well, and also use them as a means to accessing these teens

A diary log function with emoticons and stickers may be helpful in tracking the moods and feelings of the users. The messaging functions should also be ideally integrated with social media accounts to help keep track of the users' behaviour or emotional wellbeing.

Yes, this platform should appeal to the public, especially for those who do not like to chat face to face or voice out their issues to people close to them.

More often than not, many who are struggling with mental issues are afraid to approach someone in person to talk about their issues for fear of being judged. A platform where the users can freely voice out their issues by writing or messaging will be good, and counselling or solutions can be provided to the users. Peer support mechanisms can also incorporate a section where users can showcase whatever they are good at, to boost their self-esteem - be it drawings, baking, poetry, writing, dancing, anything goes!

Problem: When people struggle alone with mental illness or self-injury, they are afraid of letting others know and often suffer alone because of escapism or self-punishment, what they need is for the platform to be a constant presence in the eyes of those prone to self-injury.
Solution: Running a non-profit organization is never easy, set aside donations and save up for social media engagements targetting those who are victims that there is always a quiet and safe space they can trust due to its crediblity and reviews. Build up the repretiore and the name will speak for itself.

Perhaps you can add some free meditation exercises that are easy to follow and well as some tips for when one is overwhelmed with stress. You could also allow users to join various support groups so that people can chat and share their experiences anonymously so that they may feel less alone in the moment.

Maybe the focus can also be on friends or family members who are concerned with/worried about their children's well-being but are unsure of how to broach the topic, or the right words to say. They may be keen to learn or pick up certain techniques to offer support and advice before things gets out of hand. This will definitely be helpful to individuals who are apprehensive about seeking professional help, and also easier for them to reach out to friends and/or family when needed. At the same time, this helps form a bond between the individuals and friend(s)/family, which would really help these individuals see that the people around them do care about their well-being and are not dismissive about it.

Of course. But it will become more abstract in a sense that it can get to serious situations where people with suicidal thoughts are involved. So the solution should be able to cater and manage those needs as well.

I think people get through tough times through a community :) there could be groups for people to join in on the platform, to make new friends so that people can help each other through their struggles. E.g, someone who is suffering from depression could join a group that motivates one another to say exercise/pick up a hobby to get themselves moving and have an outlet.

There should be a verification system for volunteers before being allowed to give advise to anyone seeking help on the platform. Options to hide your real identity should also be added into the platform to increase the anonymity of the user to allow him to feel more comfortable using the service. Users who use the service should be stuck to a single psychologist/counsellor/volunteer (to the best of the platform's ability) for them to receive more consistent advise and to not have to repeatedly restate their conditions and problems.

This platform would definitely apply for the vast majority of Asian societies, where seeking for mental help is still mostly frowned upon, especially when more and more people are connected digitally with the ease of being anonymous online.

Singapore Association of Mental Health (SAMH) should provide more insight on how to carry out this initiative more effectively. Since this initiative is also very AI intensive, it is also possible to work with orgnisations such as DocDoc or CXA group, which are companies who specialise in development of AI for health.

Work with popular influences to help promote the awareness. As many youtubers have already been producing videos regarding mental health issues like NOC. therefore working with such agency can further spread the platform to target audience

i think promoting on social media such as IG, Twitter or FB can spread wider into the audience. As IG can target towards the younger generation whereas FB can be towards the parents.

There is definitely room for a platform that consolidates various mental health services in Singapore

There is certainly a need for a platform that consolidates various mental health services/resources in Singapore. Some questions for your food for thought: When you say your platform is 24/7, what does that actually mean? If it's an AI chatbot that guides people in the right direction, more research will need to be done on the user journey and what help the chatbot is able to give. For enquiries to psychologists, counsellors and others - would these be teleconsultation appointments conducted on the platform, or just directing people to what resources are available? Given that different organisations have different policies on appointment booking and how they conduct sessions (in-person or online), how will your platform be able to facilitate the needs of different organisations? How will volunteers be selected and trained to provide support on the platform?

Perhaps a "game" section in the platform could help people manage their mental health. For example, maybe a meditation/ breathing section, where users can turn it on to practise regulating their breathing when they feel anxious or stressed. Secondly, given the widespread use of social media is in our lives, I believe many of us turn to social media to talk/ post about how we are feeling instead of speaking to a real person. I suppose this is because we get a wider audience on social media as compared to speaking to one person in particular. Hence I suggest making a "group" function in this platform where people can seek help from a group while staying anonymous at the same time. Also, maybe adding a function where the platform can deduce the emotions of the user on social media can help enable early intervention. This can be done through natural language processing/ text analytics and an API such as the Twitter API Tweepy. However, it would still require the consent from the user to access their information of user

Yes, I believe this platform will appeal to the public. Most of us have our phones with us every day, so it can help make communication with psychologists/ counsellors/ volunteers much easier and more convenient than before.

However, it would still require the consent from the user to access their information on social media. Some analysis could be done on such texts to find trends (example seen from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t6XaeTSKEU&t=11s) to predict users mental health problems. This data can then be used to suggest to them maybe a chat with the counsellor/ psychologist if it is found that they share similar traits with others suffering from the issue. Lastly, I would suggest adding a journaling section into the platform. Studies have shown that journaling helps improve general mental health as it helps the author reflect upon and recognise their issues. This is often seen as the most important step to recovery, to recognise and accept their problems. Therefore, I think this can really help users improve their mental wellbeing over time.
