Empathetic AI Chatbot for Mental Health issues

I'm looking for a skilled AI developer to create a chatbot that provides emotional support and mental health resources. The main responsibilities of the chatbot will be:

- Offering emotional support in an empathetic and warm tone
- Providing self-help articles
- Guiding users to emergency helpline information when necessary

The ideal freelancer for this project will have a deep understanding of AI and natural language processing, as well as experience in creating chatbots. A background in mental health would be a plus. Creativity and patience are key, as the chatbot needs to communicate with users in a comforting and supportive manner.
