Language access
Youth and caregivers may need different words to describe stress, anxiety, depression, or crisis. Bilingual prompts lower the first barrier.
About
A bridge between youth, families, schools, and care.
Designed for CA-45 and Orange County communities.
Cầu Nối is designed for the Congressional App Challenge as a practical, bilingual navigator for California District 45. It is not a diagnosis tool or a replacement for professional care.
Why it matters
Stigma reduction
The quiz and scripts reframe help-seeking as strength, preparation, and care for family wellbeing.
Privacy by design
The app avoids identity fields entirely. It gives guidance without asking users to disclose who they are.
Data boundaries
Cầu Nối should not store names, emails, phone numbers, exact locations, school IDs, immigration status, or free-text disclosures that could identify a person. Future versions should keep analytics aggregate, opt-in, and privacy reviewed.
