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.

4. Get Mongo running on your local computer
Connect to mongo in a separate terminal tab/window.
