Creating Chatbot for GBV Survivors

I have been following AI updates for months, doing various research on NLP, Machine Learning, and supportive chatbots around the world. Now I am planning to create a chatbot for supporting violence survivors by integrating all legal systems, psychological support, and available services in my country.

I am an expert psychologist with ideas of solving ethical considerations and data privacy issues BUT zero idea about the software engineering part.

1) Any suggestions on how to build it?

2) How can I find people who are interested in this subject and work with me? (For applying possible funding at least we need to create a prototype or concept model.)
