European Youth Award 2017: Synergy of Health
Synergy of Health is a mobile app designed to help people with mental health problems such as depression, phobias, anxiety, and OCD, willing to work on improving their mental health.Considering that 1 in 4 people in Serbia experience mental health problems, the app is designed to educate, inform and provide support, available at any time and anywhere. Synergy of Health also helps those who do not seek help due to problems such as agoraphobia or social anxiety, or who cannot access professional help due to their remote location, as well as those who want to remain anonymous because of stigma. The app is aimed primarily at young people representing the most vulnerable, but the group most familiar with smart devices. A team of top professionals has worked with youth for many years, using clinically approved data and tests. Supported by the Serbian Ministry of Youth and Sports, Caritas Serbia, the EU Delegation in Serbia and the City of Belgrade, Synergy of Health aims to raise public awareness and improve mental health in society.
