Veterans Treatment Court #42

Open mkhira2 opened 7 years ago

mkhira2 commented 7 years ago

Help on the Way (H.O.W.) is aimed at veterans who are going through the Veterans Treatment Court system. The goal of H.O.W. is to provide a group support system for those individuals. Veterans can create and join groups where they can chat with other veterans to help keep them accountable to adhering to the court's rigid guidelines.

We are implementing a group chat feature that will immediately notify all other members of the group via email if the poster marks the message as urgent in case they need urgent help.

We will also have an educational component of the app, and in the long term would love to connect the app to social workers and legal representatives who can use the app as a check-in system.
