" I, being someone working on a dream project to help people with mental health struggles, found this Millennium Fellowship as an amazing source of motivation to turn this dream into a reality. With the support from the rest of my team and the network I gain through this fellowship. I hope to create a great impact in making the lives of the people, facing these struggles, much easier. Helping them overcome stigma and provide cheaper means of mental healthcare are my major goals to achieve during the course of this fellowship. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: LifeBoat
LifeBoat is a project that aims to help the overwhelming number of people in India who are affected by mental health issues, especially in the state of Kerala, and are unwilling or unable to seek professional help because of the stigma present in India society that discourages professional mental health care. People who do seek help often do so in total secrecy, and the difficulty of doing this is a another issue to be dealt with. LifeBoat helps people improve themselves by providing both free and paid services, from listening to calming ambient sound or music, to booking an appointment with a psychologist and seeking professional help entirely online in complete anonymity. The team will also try to create communities in local areas to act as self help groups for people who need friendship, and simply someone else to talk to. This has proven very helpful in other countries, but never attempted effectively in Indian localities.
The project goals include;
1. Complete the development and deploy the mobile application.
2. Creating a website to help people familiarize with the project and use the service if necessary.
3. Registration of a minimum of 16 mental health experts on the app.
4. Provision of service for a minimum of 100 users in the first month of deployment.
