Project Need
According CDC study in their 2019 study, “Geospatial Analysis of Health, Mental Health, and Stressful Community Contexts in Los Angeles County”, there are overlaps between psychological distress, lack of public funded mental health facilities, and economic hardships. This disparity was especially prevalent in regions with high BIPOC population. Our need to advocate for socio-emotional services aligns with the Health & Wellness, especially during this global pandemic. |
Mission
A Latinx female team incorporating engineering design and STEM skills to promote socio-emotional well being and community empathy. Anticipated Outcomes
Tangible community services Host virtual sessions Distribute care packages |
Civic Engagement
To have a greater reach in the Los Angeles County and beyond, the team will seek experts and conduct surveys to collect data on the community needs. Then, we will actively incorporate virtual mental health promoting sessions. By creating an app through AI Watson, bilingual if possible, we can share an online directory of publicly funded services to a wider range of audience. Lastly, we will provide safe distancing distribution of essential goods. |
