Project

Designing a Digital Platform for Mental Health Education

This project was created with the intent to connect Asian-Americans with fellow Asian-American therapists, mental health professionals, and other mental health resources. We want to de-stigmatize mental health illnesses in the community, and create a supportive & safe place to help connect similar minded individuals together.

What I learned

I learned how to provide constructive feedback for my team and provide opportunities for individuals to learn new skills. I also improve my ability to make detailed plan about project and think big.

Advice for future applicants

Just give it a try! You’re the best. 🙂
