kfollen93 / facility-explorer

A platform for mental health professionals to discover, manage, and share mental health facility resources, tailored for Washington state.

Facility Explorer

The website is hosted via Azure and can be accessed here: Facility Explorer.

Overview

Facility Explorer simplifies the research and requirements for mental health professionals seeking resources for patients. The website serves as a centralized repository for mental health facilities, curated and maintained by professionals. The information is publicly accessible without the need for sign-ups or logins. Users can explore and add facilities to their "Selected Facilities" list, which can be downloaded as a PDF or printed.

Mental health professionals have the option to log in with an admin account, granting them full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) access to the application. The primary goal is to provide accessible, up-to-date information as a public resource, actively managed by mental health professionals for their daily use.

Note: Facility Explorer is tailored for Washington state, initially conceived by a Social Worker working in the Greater Seattle Area. The website currently includes seeded data to showcase its features. This data is intended to demonstrate the functionality of Facility Explorer and its potential as a valuable tool for mental health professionals.
