How can I promote peace and unity among youth in my community through programmed?

I am a sixteen-year-old high school student from Los Angeles. In my community there is small park that is not in very good conditions. As I walk by it every afternoon, I cannot ignore the tagging and the broken sign that has destroyed our park. In addition, the park is not securely locked in the evening making it very dangerous. I came across The Community Tool Box while reading Section 6: Improving Parks and Other Community Facilities which inspired me to change the conditions of our park and revitalize it. I would like to know who I could contact and what steps I could take to make our park beautiful again. Thank you for time.

Dear advisor from CTB,

First off, this is an amazing service and I briefly went over the suggested resources to read up on community engagement.

My question is about multiple-communities and engaging/starting communities online. I am a recent graduate from a business school in Canada, with start-ups and projects under my belt, as well as coding experiences. I was raised without a mother or father figure, had support getting over depression and was kicked out (but talked myself back in) from University twice. I want to help make depression and other mental illnesses easier to cope with. I want to bring together communities of people struggling through various illnesses, or bring together communities of caregivers to patients, the elderly and family/friends that are suffering through depression.

Ultimately, I would like to create an online platform that allows people to communicate with each other about their problems and also seek low-cost therapy (through online chat and video). In differentiation from other services I would like to add a layer that works to defeat the stigma of depression. The biggest problem people with depression suffer through is the blame they put on themselves for not being "normal". Even if online therapy exists, it is often hard for someone to accept that they are struggling and to get help. This is why I would like to add a layer of self-assessment quizes and short weekly email reminders or guides, developed with the help of psychologists, to help people first accept their state of well being and drive them to accept help and to talk to others more freely.

It is very very easy for someone that has depression to lock themselves in. Their only way out at times is the internet. I remember myself going through articles of "how to cure depression". The wait times to see a therapist at my University were 3 - 4 months long between appointments (and this is in Canada, I can only imagine the wait time in the states). A psychologists costs $300 an hour. Very fast I ran out of options very quickly and hope to come up with a comprehensive online program that lets someone get back up on their feet slowly.

Do you have any suggestions on how I can get involved in the mental health community in the states, which contacts I should reach out to first and how I can validate this idea before spending time developing the websites and recruiting help?

I would love any mentorship and guidance on how I can get started to chat with peer support groups and psychologists - to bring them on board and to also find out their needs.

Thank you so much for your help. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

how do i plan an health promotion intervention on menace of drug addiction in my community?

If I'm trying to bring awareness into my community about the doctrine of discovery and how it's impacted native American's. The biggest point is to highlight a new awakening with the Christian people and how they are denouncing this doctrine and working in the direction of change reaching healing and unity for all people. There are many articles claiming change and the Nuns are asking the Pope for help and there are several other churches in motion to seek change.

Sir

Hello,
I am a part of a grassroot project called Thriving Places project, which is in collaboration with Virginia Tech located in Blacksburg Va. We are a website that has the same goal as your project and was wondering if we could get some input into improving our own. We are trying to gain readership/awareness locally as well as contributors to the project. You can check out our website at thrivingplacesproject.com and any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,

How teachers in a primary school can deal with increasing stress levels as the working hours are longer and high expectations with greater responsibility?

What guidelines can be given to the students of the primary school to improve their behaviour and manage anger to become responsible citizens in the future?

May the Tool Box be used to develop and implement programs using subjects and topics from the various sections and chapters?

To Whom it May Concern,
 
My name is Ruth and I am an undergraduate student at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. I am currently conducting a rapid literature review and dissemination on community engagement for a low-income community in Hamilton. I am considering using the Community Toolbox as a resource but was uncertain as to whether or not the Toolbox is based on scholarly research. If it is in fact evidence-based, I would be interested in having a citation list that I could take a look at for research purposes. Please do get back to me as soon as you can, as I am expected to report back to the community within the next two weeks.
 
Thank you,
Ruth

Through my employment I recently came upon a young man who ambulates via a wheelchair. He is living in an apartment complex on the 20th floor in a non accessible apartment downtown. He has no way to open his door other than to call on neighbors. Is this a violation of ADA?
