The Safe Place per iPhone

"Il luogo sicuro" - Un'app per la salute mentale delle minoranze per la comunità nera

"The Safe Place" is a free iPhone app developed by Jasmin Pierre, specifically designed to address the mental health needs of the Black community. With African Americans being 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems, this app aims to bring awareness, education, and hope to this serious issue.

The app not only benefits the Black community but also mental health professionals, friends, and family of all races. It serves as a valuable tool for educating and directing individuals to seek help. Understanding that mental illness can be experienced differently due to race and social backgrounds, "The Safe Place" provides a platform for better understanding and support.

Key features of "The Safe Place" include access to Black mental health statistics, inspirational quotes from Black leaders, self-care tips on coping after police brutality, mental health in the Black Church, and how to communicate with Black family members who may not want to understand mental illness. The app also offers breathing techniques, meditation exercises, mental health videos and podcasts, articles, and open forum discussions.

"The Safe Place" is an essential resource for anyone looking to learn more about mental health in the Black community and provide support to those who need it most.
