Funded by FEMA/SAMHSA, the CCP is for anyone who has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our services are free, confidential, and virtual. Through individual counseling and support groups, we are offering emotional support, guidance, information, referrals, and COVID-19 resources that can help people who have been affected by the pandemic.
After School Chat & Craft: We are offering two virtual support groups facilitated by registered Art Therapists where children (ages 7-12) and teens (ages 13-18) can chat, create, and de-stress. Registration is required for these groups. Information regarding necessary material will be provided upon registration. There is no fee for participation in these groups, which are made possible through a grant from FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). Please see flyers for more details.
