Network of Community Ministries announced this week the addition of mental health and wellness services to their current programming. Made possible through funding by both the City of Richardson and the Ruth Ann Marmion Charitable Fund, the initiative aims to bridge the gap in mental health care accessibility by offering compassionate and evidence-based services at no cost to individuals who need them.
Key components of the program include:
- The addition of a Qualified Mental Health Professional and Licensed Master Social Worker to provide personalized mental health care assistance
- Comprehensive Screenings: All incoming neighbors will undergo depression and anxiety screenings and a Self-Sufficiency Survey. These assessments will help Network better understand and address the specific needs of individuals seeking support.
- Parent Cafés: Support groups open to all neighbors that provide a space for shared experiences and mutual support as well as separate activities for children.
