Abstract—In today’s world, where mental health challenges are becoming increasingly common, there’s a growing need for accessible, personalized, and compassionate support systems. ThrivePath was designed to help people overcome obstacles to mental healthcare seeking including stigma and ignorance. To provide users an immersive and supportive setting for going their emotional trip, we decided to combine interactive tools, AI-driven chatbots, and machine learning into a single platform. Google Gemini 1.5 by Pro powers an artificial intelligence chatbot on the platform that offers personalized, compassionate interactions to guide users confidentially and supportively through their issues. We included a mental health questionnaire to evaluate emo- tional well being in order to better equip consumers, producing knowledge that informs tailored recommendations for wellness tools including yoga, exercises, music therapy, and journaling. Guests have access to multimedia content; registered users have a more individualized experience; both kinds of users have unique capabilities on the platform. ThrivePath promotes a proactive attitude toward mental health by means of machine learning, chatbot, and customized content that helps users not only manage stress and anxiety but also provide them with means for self-care and emotional development.
