About Taboo
Taboo is a new, innovative mental health social media app to help those with existing mental health conditions and those who wish to maintain a healthy mental state.
Our Vision
Taboo's main purpose is to provide a mental health social media platform that aids the MH market in that it's main feature is an instant chat function, unlike other mental health apps, where you can recieve support from professionals and friends alike.
We believe that social media can be used in a positive way and help to break the stigma surrounding mental health in young adults. By sharing your progress, streaks and bad days via 'announcements', this gets people talking and breaks the Taboo.
aboo prides itself on being able to offer support in a modern way. By combining proven techniques with a specifically designed interface in terms of design and functionality and innovitive features, this allows each and every user to get the best possible experience from the app. Accessing support as an when they need it; in a way that hasn't been done before and communicating within a safe space helping to tackle the mental health stigma in society.
We noticed that there was a severe gap in the market for an instant chat style app focused on mental health. That's where Taboo comes in, by combining tried and tested features such as mood tracking and trigger warnings this helps users to get build their mental health picture and ensure they get the right support instantly in a way that resonates with the social media age.
The app interface (UI) and usability (UX) has been designed with mental health at the core. We have undertaken a vast amount of research with subjects from all backgrounds to establish not only the best design but the best usability. This ensures that the app not only looks great, has new features and concepts but it combines them both in a seamless and easy way.
We have built an app that is easy to use and feels like a safe space.
Come Chat With Us
Other means of accessing support such as call, video chat and
face-to-face therapy don't keep up with modern approaches to communication and mental health, leaving people feeling like a burden or even feeling unworthy of accessing support. By using an instant chat feature this ensures that there is a way for everyone to access the help and support that they need. Instant chat can be used to communicate with friends or professionals and is done so in a confidential manner. You get notifications on recieving new messages and the interface has been designed for ease of use and maximum functionality. This is a new and unique feature to mental health apps.
