Describe the challenge you want to address:
Gun violence, drug addiction, and intergenerational conflicts exacerbate trauma and mental health struggles, with limited outlets for positive expression.
What is the solution to the challenge?
Create a program using arts (e.g., music, painting, and writing) and sports (basketball, soccer, etc.) as therapeutic tools to address trauma and foster community. Sessions will run three times a week: Mondays and Wednesdays (arts) from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and Fridays (sports) from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
