Originally, Shoulder to Cry On was not even an idea, but literally to cry on someone's shoulder in order to vent the troubles and share the pain. This lead to birthing the project in creating an app where one can not only seek solace but also receive professional guidance and tools necessary in dealing with mental hardship. Moreover, the indiviudal is able to share stories with someone who has undergone similar life experiences and counsel one another to attain peace. We are in the process to determine if this can be achieved through a cost effective platform that is safe and secure. However, our aim and goal is to create a reputable establishment, one in which the needy become the needed through respect, love, and grace.

What makes Shoulder to Cry On different are the pathways through which one can receive the help. From licensed therapists to group therapy, from conversing with another user to going completely annoymous, the individual can seek aid from a broad range of avenues. Furthermore, the interface options are text, phone or video. Thus leaving the choice upto the user on how, when and with whom he, she, or they would like to be helped.
