I just want to encourage you to keep working on this project. I've been thinking for a few months about how best to increase mental health awareness with limited resources. I think it's a good idea to promote resources customized for niche communities that might not be targeted by existing mental health nonprofits. I don't really have any specific ideas at this time. But my next step is to get an understanding of everything that is currently available and figure out something from there (whether it be with something that already exists or start something new).
