Some privacy please
Sometimes mental illness is a sensitive subject to talk or think about. The oscER app lets you peruse mental health information in the privacy of your own time and in your own way. With the resources it offers, you will feel less alone and more connected to the world of information and support available in San Diego.

Nicely-organized, good info, a respectable first effort. However, more content is needed. Many familiar resources have been omitted. And what about support groups?
