Who We Are
ShoulderMe is a mental health app that combines AI and advocacy through an AI therapist chatbot. The chatbot provides advice, access to resources, or a listening ear.

An accessibility toggle enhances readability for users with visual impairments by adjusting text size, font, and icons. ShoulderMe strives to complement traditional mental health resources by offering accessible and impactful support.

FAQs
Do I need to show my name?
No, you do not need to if you do not feel comfortable. You have the option to always stay anonymous and chat in that way. You are never pressured to state your name at any time while using the application.
It all sounds great, but what does this App actually do?
The app itself is a collection of various chat rooms. Within these chat rooms people are grouped together who have similar problems in their lives and have the opportunity to hear stories from people dealing with the same dilemma as yourself.
Why do I need to say what my hobbies are when first entering the app?
When you first state what your situation is, you will be asked to state your hobbies. The reason for this feature is so that you may be grouped not only with people dealing with the same problem as yourself, but others who also have similar interests. In hope that a stronger connection can be made between the participants in the chat room.
What makes you qualified to make this app?
The founders of ShoulderMe, Varun and Jordan, have been subject to the exact problem this app is attempting to fix. The problem that nobody can truly understand the pain that you are going through if they do not feel that pain themselves. The founders have battled Epilepsy & Depression and at times felt alone because nobody understood them. They have been fighting illness their entire lives and they do understand what you are going through because they went through it themselves.
Is ShoulderMe a replacement for therapy?
No, ShoulderMe is not a substitute for professional therapy. It provides support, self-care tools, and helpful resources, but should be used alongside professional mental health care when needed.
Do you store my conversations with the chatbot?
No, ShoulderMe does not store any conversations. Once you close the app, your chat history is erased, ensuring complete privacy and confidentiality.
