**NOTE: This model should not be regarded as a replacement for professional mental health assistance. It is essential to seek support from qualified professionals for personalized and appropriate care.**

A fine tuned version of [Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1) on [counsel-chat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nbertagnolli/counsel-chat) dataset for mental health counseling conversations.
## Motivation
In an era where mental health support is of paramount importance, A large language
model fine-tuned on mental health counseling conversations stands as a pioneering solution. This
approach aims to elevate natural language understanding and generation within the realm of mental
health support. Leveraging a diverse dataset of anonymized counseling sessions, the model has
been trained to recognize and respond to a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety,
depression, stress, and more. The fine-tuning process incorporates ethical considerations, privacy
concerns, and sensitivity to the nuances of mental health conversations. The resulting model will
demonstrate an intricate understanding of mental health issues and provide empathetic and
supportive responses, offering a valuable tool for individuals seeking guidance, mental health
professionals, and the broader healthcare community.

## Credits
This is my first attempt at fine-tuning a large language model. It wouldn't be possible without [Axolotl](https://github.com/OpenAccess-AI-Collective/axolotl) and [Runpod](runpod.io). The axolotl config file can be found [here](https://github.com/steve-cse/mello/blob/master/mello.yml).
