What problem would you like to solve?
the use of substances in school age children
Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?
many kids are using substances (especially marijuana) for several reasons in the community. It's worrisome when they use it to deal with trauma, stress, peer pressure - not a pro-social environment
What idea do you have to address the problem?
create a program to educate parents, teachers, and kids that substances are not developmentally appropriate. Create pro-social programs that can influence kids to better cope with trauma, stress, peer pressure - create more paid positions that address kids mental health needs so they don't need to use substances to cope
Who would that help?
Kids
What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?
Any
