Changes at "Youth Wellness "

What problem would you like to solve?

We need to address rising rates of depression among young people.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

There are many young people in the community who struggles with mental health and how few have access to treatments that can be expensive and time consuming,

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Create a community space to offer regular programming that promotes mental health for young people (middle school and high schools students). Ask local non profit organizations to recruit young people in the community to be the driving force for change by starting conversations about mental health.

Who would that help?

Young people facing mental health problems

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?

Sunset Park
