MindCare is a capstone project from Occidental Mindoro State University. It's a self-care planner, a mood log, a chatbot you can rant to, and a way to reach the Guidance Office without having to start the conversation in person.
Two plain statements: what this is for, and where I'd like it to go.
Most students who are struggling never make it as far as the Guidance Office. There's the queue, the office hours, and the part where you have to say it out loud to a stranger. MindCare exists to lower that first step — somewhere you can start on your own, at your own hour, and where a counselor can still find you if you need one.
I'd like checking in on yourself to be as ordinary as checking your class schedule — not something you only do once things have gone badly. Beyond this campus, I hope MindCare is a workable starting point for any school that wants to give its students something like this.
"You don't have to be positive all the time. It's perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, or anxious. Having feelings doesn't make you a negative person — it makes you human."— Lori Deschene
Six rules I kept coming back to while building this.
Nothing here scolds you for a missed day or a bad week. You should be able to come back after a month away and not be met with a guilt trip.
What you write stays in your account. The Guidance Office gets a summary of the tone of your chats, never a transcript — and if a session looks serious, a counselor is told, because being awkward beats being sorry.
Two activities you'll actually keep beat ten you'll abandon by Thursday. The planner is built for the smaller number.
Free, works on the phone you already have, and readable on a slow connection. Cost and data shouldn't be the reason you don't get help.
MindCare tells you what it collects, who sees it, and what it can't do. It's a support tool, not a therapist, and it says so wherever that matters.
The readings and activities come from established wellness and psychology material, not from whatever was trending that week.
A planner you can add your own tasks to, a chatbot, a mood log, a self-rated wellness check-in, a resource library, tone analysis that only the Guidance Office reads, and a way to request a counseling session. Each one is explained on the homepage.
It started as a capstone requirement and turned into something I actually wanted to finish properly.
One student at Occidental Mindoro State University. This was the capstone.
