About this Project
Communities Served
My project will involve and/or impact the following communities:
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
When it comes to community impact projects, the UN has created 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These are the Sustainable Development Goals associated with my project.
How the project works
Our goal is to reach 300 participants in the first year, increasing mental health literacy and reducing stigma within the community. By partnering with local professionals and organizations, we ensure that these essential services are accessible to those who need them most.
Project Impact
By empowering youth with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to manage their mental health, we aim to reduce the prevalence of mental health issues, improve overall well-being, and foster a community where every young person has the opportunity to thrive.
Project Mission
The purpose of Clean Minds Ottawa is to address the pressing mental health challenges faced by youth in low-income communities. We recognize that these young people often face significant barriers to accessing mental health care, including stigma, lack of resources, and economic constraints.
