Mental health care for kids or adults is the main concern of Cessa. It does have specializations for foster kids or alumni, but can be used by anyone that may be struggling with their mental health. Starting with a quiz that will attune this app to your needs, Cessa then provides exercises for the user. For example, breathing exercises or meditation for general anxiety. There is a family locator in case your kid is wondering where you are at that moment. These exercises are a way to focus elsewhere and get feelings out rather than keep them in.

Our app prototype project began just a few weeks before the pandemic began and everyone got sent home, but I find it interesting that I was focusing on a topic that soon became a huge focus during the quarantine that soon followed in March 2020.
