Community Resources
As the school counselor, I have a lot of conversations about resources available in our area. There are more than you realize!
There are agencies and caring individuals for nearly everything a person could need assistance with. Housing, employment, food, clothes, counseling, crisis, medical, etc. The list of resources can actually become quite overwhelming. Instead of listing ALL of these things separately, there is one simple way to find it all.

services that meet their needs. Assistance can range from simple issues,
to much more complex issues, and our up-to-date database allows us to
