This project addresses New Zealand's escalating mental health needs. The current approach to mental health support, while principled, lacks practical, evidence-based tools that accommodate the diverse recovery experiences of individuals. There's a pressing need for accessible, effective solutions, especially among various ethnic groups. We propose the development of an AI-enabled chatbot for mental and wellbeing care. This system will facilitate real-time conversations between users and the AI-based expert system. It will comprehend user queries, provide pertinent information, and offer the necessary support. The system will employ current ChatGPT-based technologies and a practical mental health conversational standard. Criteria will be defined and evaluations conducted to measure the effectiveness and reliability of the tool.
