Addressing the Absentee Father Crisis

The problems we seek to solve are the lack there of applications within the app store that target health, mental health, family growth and social issues and the overall needs of our forgotten veterans who may have more health complications than most. Each and every one of these applications target our main five core issues we have sought to target within society. 

1.) Suicide prevention 

      Suicide is the number tenth leading causes of death amongst Americans. In 2018 alone more than forty eight thousand people died due to suicide and it is the second leading cause of death for young kids and adults. There was less funding spent on the research and prevention of suicidal prevention programs when compared to other programs fighting things like breast cancer, alcoholism and even domestic abuse. Suicide is just as big of a issue if not a larger issue than some of these other matters at hand within society. 

2.) Substance Abuse Prevention 

         Within the year of 2020 alone there were seven hundred thousand deaths due to drug overdose and the thirty six plus billion spent on drug control and still thousands died due to drugs. Drug abusers are painted as "crack heads" or "junkies" and are frowned upon within the community however the same community that brand abusers with these labels want them to believe that the community is here to help. How can that be if this is how they are identified. 

3.) Academic Performance 

        Since 2018 studies from many leading and accredited educational sources such as meripedia.org and datacenter.kidcount.org suggest that the single parent home is just one of many statistical stereotypes that heavily impact the merit success of a child and young adult along with many other socio-environmental obstacles. These challenges are left untouched because we view them as normal everyday challenges a child may face in life and especially during adolescents, but we do not take into account how each child may deal with these issues differently based upon their structure of the home and overall environment. We look at this from a race stand point often because unfortunately that is the ignorance that still plagues this country, but if that can be set aside for a moment to think about how we all may deal with these issues differently and how positive reinforced behaviors could shape ones life then we may be able to make a difference. These applications are not the "God" application that will take all of lives issues away, but these applications can be virtually everyones "Iyanla Vanzat" helping them fix their lives one issue at a time. 

4.) Reduce Crime 

       These applications each with its own main target problem and various options of solutions offered to resolve those problems have the functionality of reducing crime themselves. They operate as "self-help" applications that allow access to further forms of aids within all different areas. For example if a military veteran is home and has been diagnosed with a mental disorder that requires medication and for some reason he or she stops taking the medicine and want to mentally become less dependent on the medicine. The  "MIGHTY-Military Transition App" can help the veteran with identifying their triggers for the symptoms of their metal disorders and identify ways that they themselves could help better manage their own emotions and behaviors and furthermore locate programs and organizations than can help them within the long run and in return there is safe place for veterans to be comfortable to admit to the problems and identify solutions. 

5.) Strengthen Families and Communities

These applications will help strengthen families and communities with their overall purposes and missions alone. DDAAT-App alone is a application that targets every socio-environmental issue that anyone from any walk of life could and would face. This app alone targets issues that may exist within the local recreational center that oversees young children and teens after school hours until their parents are there to pick them up, but also targets divorced couples and helps within structuring their co-parenting environment. This of course will strengthen anyone who download's the app and uses it for it's purpose and functionality. 

These problems that we are targeting can all be resolved in such a way that we reduce their negative impacts overall and in some cases such as suicide, we as many others hope to eradicate the issue along with many others, but we know time heals all wounds and that every source of change has to crawl before it walks or starts small before it influences nations or even better an entire planet.
