ARE
Our project, ARE, addresses the silent crisis of bullying and inequality affecting millions of youths, leading to severe mental health struggles. Many suffer alone due to a lack of immediate professional help.
- ARE provides a secure support network featuring:
- Direct Professional Connection: Booking consultations with psychologists.
- Immediate Emergency Button: Rapid access to crisis contacts.
- Self-Care Toolkit: Exercises for emotional regulation.
Aligned with SDGs 3, 4, and 10, we transform pain into healing and fear into safety, ensuring social and racial inequalities no longer block mental well-being.

Learning Journey
Learning Journey
Our team (Lavinia, Ingridy, Isabelly, and Emy ) went through a profound evolution. We learned how to create an app from scratch, which improved our computer skills and opened our minds to technologies we never imagined existed. The biggest lesson was learning how to research deeply to find the right information. We overcame the fear of the unknown and proved to ourselves that nothing is impossible when we work together.
Information Legitimacy Description
To ensure our project was legitimate, we prioritized official and professional sources. We researched mental health guidelines from recognized health organizations and the United Nations' SDGs. We also decided to use only native components from our development platform to guarantee technical reliability. By avoiding informal data and focusing on connecting users with professional psychologists and established emergency contacts, we ensured that the support provided by the ARE app is safe, accurate, and trustworthy for all young users.
