Gambit is an app that aims to normalize mental health conversations and educate young black adults on mental health. Gambit allows users to choose what they may be feeling or pick an experience that may be bothering them all. Learning is divided into micro modules that will enable users to learn more about a feeling or experience and then learn how to cope and talk about it to someone outside the app. Gambit also has asocial aspect. Users may comment as they go through modules and are prompted by a question to encourage communication. Users also have access to a discussion page to talk anonymously with other users if they are not comfortable reaching out in person. Gambit aims to build confidence while users use the app to push users to reach out to someone once comfortable.
