## What is Beacon?

Beacon – Your Mental Health Support Network

Are you struggling with anxiety, sadness, heartbreak, or stress? You’re not alone. More than 1 in 7 people say their mental health is currently either bad, or the worst it’s ever been.

Beacon is a safe, supportive space where you can share how you’re feeling, reflect on your personal journey, and receive encouragement from others who understand.

With beacon, you can:

Light beacons and get support – Post how you’re feeling, tag your emotions (e.g., anxious, lonely, heartbroken), and share your journey. Receive support from others in similar situations.

Journal privately – Keep a personal log of your thoughts and feelings. Your private journal entries are for your eyes only, helping you reflect, track your progress, and gain insights over time.

Connect with others – Find comfort knowing that others are going through similar experiences. Offer support through comments, boosts, or follows, and let others know they are not alone.

Key features:

Simple, intuitive design
Public posts and private journal entries
Tag and categorise beacons to match your mood
Interact with comments, boosts, and follows
Secure and private – you decide what to share
Report and block tools to keep the community safe
Accessible anywhere – support is always in your pocket

Why beacon?
We understand how isolating it can be to struggle with mental health. That’s why beacon exists: to help you connect with a community that uplifts each other through tough times, while also giving you space for personal reflection through private journaling.

Whether you’re seeking encouragement or simply want to express yourself, beacon provides a safe, judgment-free zone for everyone.

Start your journey toward mental wellness today. Light your first beacon, write your first journal entry, and remind yourself—and others—that no one has to face this alone.
