This research presents an AI-driven mental health platform designed to provide personalized emotional support, journaling, and geolocation-based resource navigation [1]. The app integrates an empathetic chatbot, customizable journaling tools, and a resource locator to bridge gaps in mental health accessibility [2]. User surveys with 10 participants revealed high satisfaction with the chatbot’s emotional support and the journaling feature's guided prompts, while the resource locator faced occasional accuracy issues. Key challenges, including NLP accuracy, geolocation reliability, and advanced customization, were identified as areas for improvement. By leveraging user feedback and iterative updates, this app has the potential to revolutionize accessible mental health support.
