📖 Looking for local resources? Start here!

Did you know Monroe County has a comprehensive Resource Guide designed to help connect individuals and families with services and support available right here in our community?

The Monroe County Resource Guide is the result of an ongoing collaborative effort between Monroe County United Way, Monroe County Health Council, Monroe County Prevention & Wellness Coalition, and Chota Community Health Services. 💙

Over the years, funding for the guide has come from a variety of sources, most often including grants, private foundations, and contributions from partner agencies. It’s truly a community effort—created to make finding help a little easier when you need it.

🖨️ The Resource Guide is updated and printed every other year, but you don’t have to wait for a printed copy! A digital version is always easily accessible online and can be viewed anytime.

Whether you’re looking for primary care, food assistance, housing resources, mental health care, substance use services, family support, or other community programs, the Monroe County Resource Guide is a great place to start.

Today was well spent listening and learning at the FY27 Annual TDMHSAS-funded Coalitions Meeting as the fiscal agent for the Monroe County Prevention & Wellness Coalition. Statewide data and contractual obligations were reviewed, areas for improvement were identified, and effective strategies were discussed. We were taught, encouraged, and reminded of the important work prevention coalitions are doing in TN by phenomenal trainers and leaders- including Mitchell Moore and Kristina Clark! Thanks TDMHSAS, for pouring so much into us so we can pour into others! We are grateful.

It’s an honor for our council to be so closely connected to the PWC and a privilege to invest in our communities through our collaborative partnership. ❤️

We enjoyed learning about the Project Lifesaver program being launched by the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office today. This is a program that will certainly benefit individuals and family members of those with cognitive disabilities who are prone to wander.💜 Thanks to all who worked to bring Project Lifesaver to citizens in our area!
