Enhancing Mental Health Awareness and Support for BIPOC Communities

Additionally, the project aims to develop a comprehensive suicide prevention campaign that targets the BIPOC community, promoting awareness, education, and resources to reduce suicide rates. Both initiatives will focus on culturally sensitive approaches, ensuring that the materials and strategies developed are inclusive, accessible, and effective in supporting the mental health needs of BIPOC individuals. These efforts aim to foster mental health awareness, education, and resilience within these communities.
