We're excited to introduce the world's preeminent collegiate mental health care hackathon! Hack Mental Health is dedicated towards developing technology that can improve mental health. Whether its tracking biometrics through wearables, developing algorithms to make social media more friendly, or helping people quickly get the care they need, we're bringing experts in technology, psychology, and business from all along the East Coast to help turn your vision to reality!  This year, we're partnering with companies such as Google, Bulldogs in Bluegrass, and Therachat, which helps us offer travel cost subsidies for needing participants! Please reach out to anthony.xu@yale.edu for more information. Mental Health Today In the current century, mental health has become one of the biggest challenges our nation faces. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness: 1 in 5 U.S. adults experiences mental illness in a given year. Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the U.S. for people aged 15–24. 46% of homeless adults live with severe mental illness and/or substance abuse disorders. Coming Together Last year, we were inspired by the 350+ attendees, 30+ sponsors, and incredible community from our first HackMentalHealth hackathon. This year, we’re planning to double the numbers, connect with even more companies, and truly make this the capstone mental health + tech event worldwide.  Talented, inspiring mental health practitioners tackle mental health issues on the front lines everyday. Brilliant minds in the technology field are eager to make a real impact in improving the health of millions of Americans. Survivors and friends of loved ones who have suffered from mental health illnesses long to have a voice in the narrative. Everyone has an important role in this conversation. Let’s come together and innovate mental health. For more information about HMH, please visit hackmentalhealth.care. To join our distribution list, sign up here.

Sustainathon 2019 is a sustainability hackathon focused on sustainable problem-solving to create solutions for global challenges. This weekend will consist of workshops, coaching sessions, and deliverables. This pressure cooker format is where brilliant ideas are born. Participants will be provided with everything they need to boost their thinking, think of: coaches, workshops, data, free food, and of course a great vibe. Having coding skills is not a pre-requisite and everyone from different academic backgrounds and skill sets are welcome. Why participate? Compete, build, test and launch your implementable case to the world and/or UMass campus. Work together in teams full of talent (an interdisciplinary mix of different backgrounds and skillsets). Level up your skills: get coaching and workshops. Join the Sustainability Projects Abroad (SPA) Team and grow your network: you’ll make unexpected new friendships. It’s a big plus on your resume when applying for a job. Doing extra things in addition to your daily school work is becoming more important for organizations. Sustainathon is a launchpad for bringing ideas into the real-world. Potentially see your idea funded! Want to be on the same team with a friend(s) or have questions?
