Caregiving burnout is a widespread yet often overlooked issue. Many caregivers experience emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion but lack accessible and stigma-free resources. ReCentre was developed as a mental health wellness application designed to support caregivers in managing stress and maintaining their well-being. With a friendly yellow and blue color scheme, the app aims to create a warm, approachable space that encourages self-care without guilt.

Introduction
Introduction
Caregivers often experience burnout due to a lack of support, time constraints, and the stigma associated with seeking help. The key challenges include:
Limited mental health resources tailored to caregivers.
Feelings of isolation and emotional exhaustion.
Stigma around burnout, making it difficult for caregivers to acknowledge their struggles.
Lack of time to engage in self-care due to caregiving responsibilities.
To understand the needs of caregivers, I conducted:
User interviews with caregivers across different demographics.
Surveys to assess common stressors and coping mechanisms.
Competitive analysis of existing mental health and wellness applications.
Consultations with mental health professionals to ensure effective content and support.
