A team of four students has developed RELIEF, a digital sanctuary aimed at supporting mental health and emotional safety. The project was presented at the HEC Generative AI Training Hackathon and is designed to address the growing stress, anxiety, and depression among students and individuals.
RELIEF is built on three core pillars: Awareness, Support, and Healing. It envisions a calm, welcoming online environment where users can seek help without fear of judgment. The platform combines research, data visualization, and presentation-style content to communicate its vision effectively.
The project was a collaborative effort by Hafiza Mehwish Dawood, Ayesha Shafqat Hussain, Minhal Shaaz, and Muhammad Ahsan Bilal, completed in May 2026. It emphasizes that mental health is as important as physical health and provides a safe space for those struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression.
