To improve children’s resilience in coping with change at a particularly difficult transitionary time in their lives (10-13 years of age), by using a tool that is already part of their daily lives (phones and mobile apps).
Action for Children application allow users to record their emotions, analyse the reasons for them, review their emotions over a period of time and share them with their trusted adult.
The application is currently in prototype and user testing stages, with a specific set of alpha users. Google Analytics, Redash and Hotjar are being used to analyse the test data. At this stage a number of metrics are being tracked with an aim to refine which are used in the future. See this issue for more info on this.
Landing screen:
The daily, weekly and monthly views allow the user to see a record of their previously logged emotions.

You will need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed to run the application
clone this repository and go to the new directory
git clone git@github.com:actnforchildren/mental_health_app.git
then cd mental_health_app
create a .env file to define the environment variables:
MAILGUN_API_KEY=...
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=...
EMAIL_FROM=...
EMAIL_TRUSTED_ADULT=...
LOGIN_ENABLE=true
update the phoenix dependencies:
docker-compose run --rm app mix deps.get
install the nodejs packages with npm
docker-compose run --rm app npm --prefix ./assets install
create the database
docker-compose run --rm app mix ecto.create
run the migrations:
docker-compose run --rm app mix ecto.migrate
create/add users:
docker-compose run --rm app mix run priv/repo/create_test_users.exs
run the application with
docker-compose up
visit the app on localhost:4000
You can define the value of LOGIN_ENABLE
to false
when you want to
block users to access the application
To create a new heroku app you can follow the Phoenix guide https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/heroku.html
Check that the heroku remote is defined git remote -v
. For more information
you can read the heroku deployment guide:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/git#creating-a-heroku-remote
To deploy a new branch you can run: git push heroku your_branch:master
.
As the application was being tested with a specific set of alpha users all the users accounts were manually created. There is no way to create users in app.
To create a user, go to priv/repo/create_users.exs
. Update the following line
users = [
{"USER1234", 1234},
]
with the username and pin you would like to use. These can be sourced from an env variable if you want to keep them secret.
Once you have added your variables, in your terminal run the command
mix run priv/repo/create_users.exs
.
