-Provide up-to-date resources for mental health providers, counseling, clinics, child care, and 24/7 resource phone line

-Develop a curriculum focused on wellness techniques and burnout prevention

-Provide resources for wellness activities around the city of New Orleans and organize events within the program

-Work to improve resident workspaces and shared environments
