Our program that focuses on Mental Health is called (Re): Mind. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 20 to 25% of the homeless population in the United States suffers from some form of severe mental illness. Mental illness was the third largest cause of homelessness for single adults (mentioned by 48% of cities). (Re): Mind will build relationships with mental health firms in the community. Our goal, through these partnerships, is to offer at least 1,000 hours of mental health counseling a month to the individuals that need them. We will equip these struggling homeless individuals with the tools to overcome one of their biggest oppressors: their mind. By reminding these individuals who they truly are and reestablishing their place in society.
The plan is to reach out to the community for assistance. By building relationships with at least 50 mental health and counseling firms who will agree to offer 5 hours of pro bono counseling a week. This will be at least 250 hours a week and 1,000 hours a month.
