The Challenge
Community organizations doing mental health and recovery work face several challenges:
- •Limited digital presence to reach those who need help
- •Difficulty connecting people to the right resources
- •No centralized platform for events and support groups
- •Manual processes for community engagement
Big Red Bus operates a physical bus bringing resources directly to communities. Our FBLA project creates a digital companion to extend that reach.
