Self Care Center at MCC Family Resource Center by Lottyizet Nunez
What problem would you like to solve?
[The lack of access to self care for caregivers and community workers/members is the problem I would like to solve]
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
[Individuals have been through and are still undergoing significant amounts of stress which includes stress due to the pandemic, their work loads, traumas which may include a family crisis, as well as other difficult life events. I wish to provide services within a space in which caregivers and community workers/members need, a space where they can relax, rejuvenate and recharge.]
What idea do you have to address the problem?
[My idea is to create a Self Care Center for caregivers and community workers/members. I plan to incorporate massage chairs, masseur services, a health snack and tea corner, a meditation area which will include yoga mats and stress relieving items. I would like to provide workshops specifically tailored to self care and how to manage stress as well as stress reliving items as incentives for attending workshops such as stress balls, bubble bath bombs and care essentials, tea bags/mugs, etc. I would also like to provide a comfortable couch and musical equipment which plays light music in the background for workshops and therapy sessions.]
Who would that help?
[The Self Care Center will help caregivers and community workers/members.]
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
[Manhattan]
