Challenge
Four Florida-based organizations joined forces to address a growing need: centralized, accessible, culturally inclusive resources for Florida residents facing mental health and well-being challenges. The goal was to unify their efforts into one digital hub that could serve: – Community members in crisis or transition – Professionals working in health and social care – Advocates and educators in underserved regions But bringing multiple brands and missions under one roof required thoughtful strategy, clarity of purpose, and audience-first design.
