if me
if me is a community for mental health experiences that encourages people to share their personal stories with trusted allies. Trusted allies are the people we interact with on a daily basis, including friends, family members, co-workers, teachers, and mental health workers.
Dealing with mental health is what makes us human. But for a lot of us, it's a struggle to be open about it. Not everyone is a counsellor or therapist. The people who we interact with everyday shape our emotions and behavior. Getting them involved in mental health treatment is the key to recovery.
The live site can be found at if-me.org.
Read about our project goals and how to contribute (not just as a developer) here.
We use the wonderful Contributor Covenant for our code of conduct. Please read it before joining our project.

Workflows and Contributions
Contributor Blurb
In the spirit of open communication and community, we highly recommend that new contributors write a blurb on themselves, what mental health means to them, and why they are part of the project.
This also helps people to familiarize themselves with the code base! The live
contributors page can be found here.
Contributor images must be at least 800x800 px and be in .jpg or .png format.
Please save the image as
app/assets/images/contributors/firstname_lastname.png
! Add your blurb to
doc/pages/blurbs.json
.
If you've contributed to the project but do not want to write a blurb, please
add your name and desired social media link to doc/pages/contributors.json
.
Donate
We also welcome financial contributions in full transparency on our Open Collective. Anyone can file an expense. If the expense makes sense for the development of the community, it will be "merged" in the ledger of our Open Collective by the core contributors and the person who filed the expense will be reimbursed.
We also have a Patreon page where you can give monthly donations.
