Describe the challenge you want to address:
Mental health access is a basic need for people. But people in vulnerable groups especially have a hard time to access mental health support. Many elderly people deal with loneliness and isolation. And there is also lots of stigma in many communities against mental health help.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Mental wellness park and outreach for Chinatown elderly folks. This is a preventative mental health intervention. Once a week, mental health professionals will go out to the parks and rec centers (Columbus Park, Seward Park, Sara D. Roosevelt Park) to meet elderly adults where they are. The professionals must be able to speak one of the major languages among Chinatown older adults. They will casually chat with people and hang out. They will also screen for any other further mental health support that may be required.
