Describe the challenge you want to address:

Currently, over half (56%) of Americans do not have access to mental health facilities or are able to attend workshops/seminars on how to get access to mental health services.

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Our community should use a space that is already available to us, or rent a space, that can fill this void to help people in our community live healthier, happier lives. This facility can also host events that have been proven to help aid with mental health, examples: workout classes, painting, reading groups, etc.
