Young adult feedback
Not designed as an app, it is a website that uses Google Maps to show services available to homeless people within the Brisbane region. Given how rich of a resource this information is, there are a plethora of options (toilets, WiFi, shelters, food, etc). I would say it's very valuable to those in the Brisbane region.
Expert feedback
This is a website users can visit on their mobile device which connects to the Google Maps app and displays facilities and services relevant to homeless people. This information is only provided for the greater Brisbane region.

I wasn't coping well after experience violence in my relationship...
Though I said no both times, he kept going. I wasn't coping well afterwards... I wouldn't eat or drink or even face my own brothers. Life just wasn't worth living anymore. I was in the middle of exams when it happened and I failed everything because the rape took over my life. No one understood what I was going through, except my mum. Thank god I had her, she was and still is my rock.

Tell us your storyMy parents struggled with their own mental health
My father tried to kill himself a few times and I had a mother who was irrational and neurotic. Between the two of them, they had many fights that I got dragged into, being the only child. I was unhappy, stressed and turned to harming myself in order to cope. I knew that harming myself was not a good coping mechanism but at the time, I couldn't bring myself to care.
