# Serenity Bot

<details>

<summary>About Serenity</summary>

Many mental health support services on Discord suffer from being unmoderated, inconsistent, or lacking in qualified guidance. We’re here to change that. Our Discord bot is part of a broader, carefully developed ecosystem of mental health tools designed with safety, reliability, and expertise at their core.

In addition to Discord, our support tools are available on Slack, Telegram, and a dedicated standalone platform—currently in closed beta—ensuring accessible, multi-channel support for diverse communities.
