Imagine: you're an individual with a short attention span or anxiety, phone in hand, hoping to find digital tools that help balance your mental well-being.
You sit down, full of hope, and open an app to find support. Hours pass as you navigate clunky interfaces, overwhelming features, and impersonal advice. Your excitement dwindles with each frustrating roadblock. Finally, you give up, feeling disheartened by the lack of connection and the missed opportunity to truly engage with your mental health.

"One of the crazy things is that a lot of the opportunities for STEM programs are through state websites, which are often very difficult to navigate. Even though I know the Georgia Department of Natural Resources has programs, I can't find them online. I have to text and call for the URL because it's impossible to Google."
