Mental health app/website
Scope: Bushwick
Budget: $40,000
A website/app that is free and accessible, and contains specific information to access Bushwick Mental health resources.

Healing through Art/Story telling
Scope: Bushwick
Budget: $40,000
Public installation about famous people who have suffered from different types of mental illnesses as a way to showcase their success stories and how they overcame adversity with the goal of demystifying mental health. As an extension of this idea, we get community members that are willing to share any experiences with mental illnesses through oral histories/story telling, which can be combined in a short where we show off different people' stories.
