What problem would you like to solve?

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

A lot of people are going through a lot of mental health issues. The every day struggles are taking a toll on our mental health which is causing depression, anxiety and self doubt.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Hire an art teacher who specializes in healing art therapy. Provide all materials and space. Host 3 sessions, one in English, Spanish and Chinese. Host a 3 hour sessions that include a workshop on Emotional Healing to discuss ways to cope with depression, anxiety, self-doubt and Art class.
