Capstone project
Goal Statement: Our goal is to improve the overall mental health status of veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP by up to 80% for those struggling with mental health challenges by facilitating real-time accessibility to a peer support platform utilizing a mobile app to fill the gap that currently exists when veterans are awaiting appointments for psychological supports that are currently funded by Veterans Affairs of Canada. We aim to reduce the strain on the general health system due to the repeated appointments with a veteran's primary care practitioner to inquire about further mental health resources and to improve a veterans quality of life while they are adjusting to civilian life in between their federally funded psychological supports.
