| Please explain how your project meets the requirements of the American Rescue Plan | Statics support that this pandemic has disproportionately impacted women. More than a quarter of women reported increased stress, anxiety and other mental health struggles. Not only has the labor increased for women in the frontline, but domestic violence and violence against women have increased since quarantine, too. another mental health hardship women have faced since the start of COVID-19 has been related to family stress. With many schools rapidly opening and closing, many mothers have had disproportionately more stress and responsibilities, including home-schooling children, all while managing their own psychological responses to COVID-19. This project is important in that it meets the needs while exposing the resources available to women to conquer this tough transition our community is currently facing. |
