The Safe Place

"The Safe Place" Is a Minority Mental Health App geared towards the Black Community. African Americans are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the rest of the general population. However, many black people still do not wish to seek professional help for their mental illnesses. The Purpose of the "Safe Place" is to bring more awareness, education, and hope to this serious issue. Not only can the black community benefit from this app, but also mental health professionals, friends, and family, of ALL colors can be better educated on this issue and do a service by directing their black friends, co workers, etc. to the app. All races go through mental illness, but we also can experience it differently because of our race and social backgrounds. "The Safe Place" can also be a great learning tool for mental health professional's to better understand their black patients. App features Include * Black Mental Health Statistics *Inspirational Black Quotes *Self Care Tips On 1. How to Cope After Police Brutality 2. Mental Health In The Black Church 3. How to talk to black family members who may not want to understand mental illness 4. Breathing Techniques 5. Meditation 6.

Jasmine, this is amazing! Thank for creating this app for people like ourselves as a forum to obtain info on all types of mental illness & how to cope with it all. Our community definitely needs apps like this. I know I've felt alone so many times and didn't who to talk to w/o critism or judgement.

I think it is great that someone created an app like this. Hopefully this allows more individuals, particularly black individuals, to open up about their mental health concerns and seek help.

Glad this was created. Hard having a mental illness and sometimes being black can make it harder. Can't wait to see this app continue to grow as well as the following.

I downloaded the app multiple times thinking maybe it was a glitch but I never had anything other than a blank screen. I could click a drop down tab but had none of the screens listed above. I'm beyond disappointed

The creator of this app has been a solider and constant advocate for minorities in learning and dealing with mental illness. I'm so glad this app has finally launched!
