Silence the Shame, a well-known organization advocating for mental health, has joined forces with tech giant Microsoft to introduce a brand new app dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and providing support for mental health. This exciting partnership combines the power of technology with the mission of promoting mental wellness to individuals and communities facing mental health challenges. In a recent press release, the non-profit and Microsoft have called upon communities worldwide to come together and spread awareness and understanding about the prevalent mental health issues.
The app, which will be available for download, allows users to engage with the community by sharing their own stories, engaging in meaningful conversations, and exploring the various resources provided. CEO and founder of Silence the Shame, Shanti Das, expressed her gratitude for this collaboration, stating that this beautiful application was made possible through the efforts of Darrell Booker and his team at Microsoft who included Silence the Shame in their global hackathon two years ago. She believes that this app is a crucial step towards providing more access to mental health resources and promoting healthy coping mechanisms.
Shanti Das, a native of Atlanta and former music executive, has dedicated her time to improving the health of her community. In the past, she has worked as a National Power Ambassador for the American Heart Association, focusing on promoting heart health in multicultural communities. Booker, a corporate affairs specialist at Microsoft, acknowledges the struggles many face with mental health and believes that technology, specifically the .NET MAUI mobile app powered by Microsoft, can offer a beacon of hope. In the press release, he stated, "This app provides a discreet and accessible platform for support...it can be a lifeline that saves lives by connecting us to the help we need, right from our mobile devices."
The app is set to launch on May 5th, which coincides with National Silence the Shame Day and Mental Health Awareness Month. Those interested can visit Silence the Shame's website for more information on the app and access a series of insightful Instagram Live sessions throughout the month of May, featuring mental health professionals and influencers. This is a significant step towards breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and providing much-needed support to those in need. Let's join hands and make a positive impact on the mental wellness of our communities.
