Mental Health and Awareness
Our project is a browser extension for Google Chrome that allows a user
to see what sensitive topics (e.g. triggers) are contained or mentioned
in the audio of a Youtube video, before watching it.

Right now, trigger warnings for sensitive topics online
are not always used. A person may encounter their triggers
while not emotionally ready, and their mental health would
be made worse by this experience.
Our project allows a person to have more information available
about what sensitive topics a Youtube videos contains, and make
informed decisions about when and how to engage with these videos.
Inspiration for this project came from the way that many websites
incorporate a tag system that allows users to filter and
make choices about the content they consume. Youtube
does not have a similar feature, and so this project
fill in that gap.
