Great collaborative meeting yesterday! 🤝💙

A big thank-you to Community Helping Place for sharing information about your mental health services with us! The presentation was so informative, and we appreciate the opportunity to learn more about the valuable resources you provide to our community.

Together, we can make a difference! 💚

💚 **DID YOU KNOW?** 💚

Did you know that Community Helping Place offers mental health counseling services?

Our Mental Health Coordinator, Terri, recently had the opportunity to share information about CHP's counseling services with the Lumpkin County Collaborative, helping spread awareness of the resources available right here in our community.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to connect with community partners, share what CHP has to offer, and work together to make sure our neighbors know where to turn for support.

✨ Because sometimes, the first step toward getting help is simply knowing it's available.

Children living in poverty are less likely to reach standard education milestones and are more likely to develop poor mental health, suffer from asthma and other childhood diseases, and experience poor health later in life. https://bit.ly/4av3RPx
