EternalEase

Problem & Insights

Millions of people struggle with mental health but lack access to simple, stigma-free resources. Many websites are either overly clinical or not engaging enough to retain users. EternalEase was created to bridge that gap.

Key Challenges:

• Lack of centralized, easy-to-navigate mental health resources
• Overly complex or text-heavy websites
• Little support for interactive, calming tools (like breathing exercises or journaling)

Discovery Process:

• Spoke with 15 students, 5 counselors, and 10 young professionals
• Audited government and private mental health websites
• Gathered UI/UX trends that reduce cognitive load and anxiety triggers
