The UK’s first free peer-to-peer support App, the brainchild of two Yorkshire men, was launched in a bid to help people with mental health issues find friendship and support, regardless of their state of mind. The ‘Unmasked’ App enables users to create bonds with people they wouldn’t ordinarily meet to bridge a gap between appointments with mental health specialists.
Unmasked is a free app built around research and consultation with several mental health charities and agencies in the UK. Users can choose to appear masked (using an emoji to convey their state of mind) or unmasked as themselves. The system helps people form friendships with other users with mental health issues – users can search by age, location and illness to chat with peers to give and receive support in times of need.

MGC Agency has designed and built the UK’s first free peer-to-peer support Mobile App Development for Mental Health developed in a bid to help people with mental health issues find friendship and support, whatever their state of mind.
The “Unmasked” mobile app was created to help users fill the time between meetings with mental health professionals by allowing them to form relationships with people they might not otherwise encounter.
Unmasked is a free Mobile App, built around research and consultation with a number of mental health charities and agencies in the UK. Users can choose to appear masked (using an emoji to convey their state of mind) or unmasked as themselves. The system helps people form friendships with other users with similar mental health issues. Users can narrow their search by age, location, and type of mental health condition to chat with peers and give and receive support when needed.
Imagine a mobile app where you can search a group of users who can relate to how you are feeling, and filter by location, mental health issue, and age if necessary. Get in touch with caring people right away.
Our aim is simple, to provide somewhere to share your problems, support and be supported.
The “How are you feeling today?” function of the Unmasked Mobile App is one of its wonderful features. Inform those around you of your feelings so that they can offer you the best possible assistance. You can browse for users who most need your assistance if you want to provide assistance to others. It’s a fantastic method to express your emotions without getting too personal.
The whole concept behind Unmasked is that we want to create a secure and positive environment where you can freely chat with people for support or be supported. Unmasked Mobile App allows you to register anonymously either by your first name or a user name. No need for profile pictures or in-depth personal details. This is where you will be “masked”.
Working conditions and the environment can have a huge impact on mental health, and, equally, workers’ mental health can have a significant impact on how well they perform in their job.
• 1 in 6.8 people are experiencing mental health problems in the workplace (14.7%)
• Evidence suggests that 12.7% of all sickness absence days in the UK can be attributed to mental health conditions
• Better mental health support in the workplace can save UK businesses up to £8 billion per year
