Connect 5

Connect 5 has been developed to give frontline staff the confidence to have more effective conversations with the public about their mental health and wellbeing.

This initial MVP is an app for Connect 5 trainers, where they can create and track upcoming sessions, send out surveys to workshop participants and immediately get all data visualised on the platform to track the impact of the delivery. They also have the ability to export all results to work with further.

Getting Started

How to get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Please ensure you have this software installed and running on your local machine before you attempt to run this webapp.

4. Get Mongo running on your local computer

Connect to mongo in a separate terminal tab/window.

5. Add some more Environment Variables

Create a config.env file in the root.

Add these👇 lines to the file, to make your local databases work, inserting your own psql username and password.

Add a 'Secret' for password encryption.
