The NYC Mayor’s Office of the Chief Technology Officer, the New York City Economic Development Corporation, and ThriveNYC are pleased to present a webinar on the upcoming NYCx Co-Labs Accessible Mental Health Challenge, a challenge which seeks to test creative, tech-enabled solutions that help answer the following question:

How might we improve mental health among Latinx youth (13-18 years old) in Inwood and Washington Heights, NYC?

The NYCx Co-Labs: Accessible Mental Health Challenge is part of the inclusive innovation efforts of the City of New York to connect the NYC tech ecosystem, government agencies, local communities, and global innovators to address the mental health needs of our most vulnerable communities, especially in light of the unique challenges and disparate impacts posed by COVID-19.
