Our project is making a database and related website that contains resources for children with mental disorders. There’s a lack of easily accessible information about the mental health resources in Iowa, which makes it difficult for parents and for doctors to help mentally ill children. Iowa needs a database to help people find resources for their children/patients, but it is time-consuming and unrealistic to update health-provider information manually. We intend to make a database that is self-sustaining. People with mental disorders have so many challenges trying to operate in our world, and any sort of help and connection to resources would help immensely. The group we are partnering with is National Alliance on Mental Illness, or NAMI.

IMPORTANT NOTE: due to limitations on free Heroku accounts, this app is no longer deployed. If you want to deploy the app, you will need to create a new Heroku account and link to heroku.
The project WAS deployed to Heroku on https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/frozen-hollows-51585. It should be connected already to the cloud9 repository. You can view our currently app at https://frozen-hollows-51585.herokuapp.com/
To deploy to the connected Heroku dashboard, type
git push heroku
For the next group, you might want to deploy it to a completely different heroku if that’s easier. Note: the current deployment is behind this repo!!
