I came up with a variety of solutions including:
offering an after school therapy group for free and creating a nonprofit that would raise money to pay for the counselors in the program
starting a for profit that would create a gaming system to help treat depression by playing a game while getting treatment from a therapist
creating a diagnostic test for all schools to give to students
Because I am good at making websites and using technology, I think I am interested in pursuing the tech-based solutions for my group.
Additionally, since so many children are affected by depression and so many are used to game play and using technology, I think there may be some potential there to pursue a solution.
