Vision Statement:
I'm working with mental health advocates and organizations to develop a database where individuals can share information about mental health initiatives so they can be adapted and expanded to other communities.

I'm working open because mental health is too often impacted by a lack of access to care and awareness about strategies to improve mental health.

👍 Your vision statement is very clear and I find your initiative great. I am just wondering if you will deal with sensitive data in your project and how this will be tackled.

Thank you for your feedback! I am not anticipating dealing with sensitive data at this stage. However, thanks to your comment I think it makes sense to reach out an expert in data security to discuss how any potentially sensitive information can be protected.
