- Describe the challenge you want to address:
- \"Everyone who has lived in NYC has “that story” (about a time they witnessed/experienced something crazy). Most New Yorkers have gotten accustomed to situations where someone (either who is mentally ill/under the\ninfluence/having a bad day) is acting out/creates a crisis situation. \n\nUnfortunately, the response to situations like these is oftentimes to ignore the individual and hope that they go away.\"
- Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:
- \"Our idea was to fund various de-escalation trainings. These trainings could be done in middle/high school classrooms and through after-hour programs for working individuals. \n\nIn addition to actual trainings, we also\nsuggested having a “SparkNotes” version on Subways/in Subway platforms.\"
