"The problem is that the community is unaware of what mental health is exactly, and does not discuss mental health.Our solution is to continue the existing Kansas City Health Department mental health initiative, Mindful Steps. Mindful Steps is a mental health option available for getting people out in the community to clear their minds and have a day where you can just enjoy nature. Another solution is to create community solutions or suggestions drop boxes.
The contents of the box will be viewed by the Mental Health Coordination team of the Kansas City Health Department who will provide resources to any individuals who request additional information..The target audience is the general populations and communities in Kansas City that may or may not need mental help, so they can be aware of the resources that will be provided by the city and how they can utilize them. The next step would be to get fundings and support from the health department to make the plan possible.
