SOAR Health App 1.1.1

The SOAR Health App provides a crucial resource for student-athletes to address the often unseen pressure and stress they encounter on a daily basis.

SOAR's peer support social platform, where users can connect anonymously with fellow athletes nationwide facing similar mental health challenges, facilitates open conversations and fosters a sense of community.

Features of the app include:

• Sharing personal stories and thoughts on mental health challenges anonymously, promoting connectivity among student-athletes.
• Browsing a main timeline to read and engage with posts from other anonymous users, emphasizing solidarity in shared experiences.
• Commenting on posts to empathize and offer support to peers in their struggles.
• Direct messaging other users to provide encouragement, discuss feelings, and exchange advice on overcoming mental health issues.
• Accessing professional health resources at school and nearby locations with just one click, available 24/7 for immediate support.

Creating a safe space for open dialogue is instrumental in breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health in athletes. Through the anonymity offered by SOAR, individuals can share their stories without fear of judgment, paving the way for a more supportive environment and personal growth.
