Helping the Latino community with mental health issues and stress. As a latina myself, I know that many other latino families struggle with mental health because we don't talk about how we feel very much and don't get the care we need. I want to be able to provide an at home kit full of useful resources.
Mental health is a challenge for Latino communities. My project would focus on providing mental health resources for Latino community members and their families at public community produce distributions. Resource kits would be prepared and distributed for free. These resource kits will include 1. resource information from local health services; 2. stress balls; 3. coloring pages; 4. essential oil kits; 5. fidget toys; 6. motivational stickers; 7. journal; 8. breathing exercises and or recipes to try. These will be distributed once each month for six months. Around 300 families come to each produce distribution so many families will be able to get these resources for free. These resources will be provided in both English and Spanish.
