Mental Health Awareness and Support Tool

This year, 16,000 of the respondents replied to mental health questions, twice as many as in 2020. -- Stackoverflow 2021 Developer Survey

Mental health has been growing in awareness in the developer community.

We need to look for and share tools with each other. Let's open source support for our communities.

Share a what are some tools we use today?

Perhaps we create a awesome-mental-health curated list of resources for developers. Articles etc. Example

Great idea! Saw it by coincidence on my feed just as I struggle with deadlines and the stress associated with it! 😆

Makes me think how some devs host their configs on github (e.g. for NeoVim); I feel like we should also strive to keep our own "mental help config" of good mental models to keep us sane -> This is something I was working on; Will make it public since it could perhaps tie in with this.

Articles are good, but I strongly think writing it down on your own terms is crucial for actually using what you read. Would be happy to contribute on this part.
