HEALTH & WELLNESS

We envision a Detroit that supports the positive physical, social, and emotional development of youth and the adults who care for them, acknowledging that healthy individuals are the foundation for healthy families and healthy communities.

The reality shows a broken Detroit physical and mental healthcare system that does not provide sufficient access to appropriate diagnostics or treatments, leaving teens struggling, especially when it comes to mental health challenges. Our community has prioritized the need for essential mental health and wellness solutions, quality health telehealth and free clinics, as well as a redirect on how mental health/therapy services are framed. We want to reduce the stigma around mental health and provide extensive support for mental, emotional and behavioral challenges. This includes expanding affordable physical health and mental facilities in every Detroit community.
