This project aimed to create tools for women facing mental health challenges to support their well-being. A booklet and shower hanger were designed to address common women’s health concerns. The shower hanger includes simple self-breast exam instructions, while the booklet offers information on contraception, menstrual tracking, menopause, and screening tests. These resources help the Assertive Community Treatment Team foster a safe space for clients to discuss their health and raise concerns.

In collaboration with Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Center (PQCHC), we aimed to address Adverse Childhood Experiences and their impact on children’s development.

Our goal was to promote these programs so families could access support and reduce the effects of ACEs.
