Boilerplate
Feel free to use this description, or quote from the mission statement in the press kit.
My mental health is a free UK web app for everyday mental health support: private daily check-ins, a mood tracker, plain-English advice and moderated peer-support rooms for anxiety, low mood, sleep, small wins and veterans. It is not a crisis service and is not monitored in an emergency, and it signposts UK support — Samaritans on 116 123, Shout on text 85258, NHS 111 and 999 — throughout.
