Abstract
Mental health is critical in achieving success in college and beyond. Unfortunately, many college students lack access to counseling services. Having easily accessible college counseling will increase the number of college students seeking help for their mental health concerns. Traditional college counseling services may not be easily accessible or convenient for students, as they may have limited hours or long wait times to see a counselor. The proposed application “Moodschool” intends to bridge this gap by offering free, convenient, and accessible in-house mental health services to college students. In addition, the application will provide essential counseling resources such as online therapy sessions, self-assessment tools, and psychosocial support groups. This innovative solution aims to improve college students’ mental well-being by giving them access to professional help when they need it most.
