Welcome, Brooklynites! How are you all doing? As residents of one of the most distinctive and diverse neighborhoods in the world, we know that Brooklyn’s unique character also brings complex challenges. Sadly, the pandemic has amplified mental health concerns, particularly in our most vulnerable areas, leaving many of our neighbors struggling with unaddressed mental health issues. Let’s work together to support each other and prioritize our collective well-being.
Our borough is known for its resilience, but we recognize that even the most resilient among us can benefit from support, especially when it comes to mental health. That’s why, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, Love & Kindness Wellness Services is proud to launch #aBetterBK – a new mental health initiative in Brooklyn. Our goal is to destigmatize mental health issues, provide education and resources to the community, and address the longstanding disparities that have affected our area. Let’s come together to promote wellness and create a better, healthier Brooklyn
