Few mental health resources provided feature long waitlists and are not cost inclusive.</p><p><strong>Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community? </strong></p><p>The mental health epidemic currently experienced by New Yorkers directly contributes to the uptick in crime and homelessness. The Richmond Hill/ South Ozone Park area is a community held together by its essential workers and small business owners. We experienced one of the highest covid rates in the city, and little to no mental health services were offered. We experience crime and homelessness at alarming rates, with the first tactic to be incarceration instead of offering mental health resources/ treatment.</p><p><strong>What idea do you have to address the problem?</strong></p><p>To address the problem of this mental health crisis, we need workshops and sessions that help break the stigma around mental health. These programs need to be culturally appropriate while meeting the community where they are. Meaning we need mental health counselors that are educated in the unique cultural traditions of our community. This includes the unique difficulties and pressures experienced by Indo Caribbean and South Asian families. Theses sessions could occur at community hubs like the Queens Public Library on Liberty avenue or at a local church, mandir or gurdwara.</p><p><strong>Who would that help?</strong></p><p>These mental health sessions would help Indo Caribbean and South Asian families in the Richmond Hill area. It will also help those experiencing homelessness and job insecurity.</p><p><strong>What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?</strong></p><p>Richmond Hill/ South Ozone Park</p>"},"title":{"en":"Speak your Mind: Mental Health sessions for Indo-Caribbean and South Asian Families "}}
