Mental Wellness Park | Helping people with mental health issues

What is the problem you found?

How might we support those with mental health issues in the community and reduce crime rates?

Customer / Problem

Our customers are people with mental health issues who struggle to control their emotions.

An inability to control this anger may result in these people taking out their frustrations on others and committing crimes within the community. 

If these customers were able to use our service they would have people to share their feelings with as well as learn how to control their emotions.

What Is Your Solution?

Mental Wellness Park creates permanent structures in parks to support mental wellbeing.

Basic infrastructure would be play sets, tables and benches. In addition there would be psychology (activity) buildings with qualified psychologists available for people to talk to about their mental health struggles and activities like meditation and yoga classes to help destress. Therapy dogs may also be used in the park to help with people's wellbeing. 

A lot of crimes committed are driven by some form of mental health issue or trauma. By working on these issues and trying to deal with them, Mental Wellness Park aims to reduce crime that may have happened if the perpetrator hadn't seen someone about their troubles.
