Even if you thought you'd never need our services,
we're here to help. Register for our February workshops today.
Today's economic crisis has created extreme hardship for many in our community, including many families who've never needed assistance before. That's why we created this program--to provide special help during these hard times. We can help with job search skills, understanding bankruptcy, reducing stress, regaining sleep, and more. Since the program began a little over a year ago, more than 520 people have benefitted from our workshops. You too can benefit. If you've hit hard times and need help turning things around, we're here for you.
See our list of workshops below. More workshops and support groups are listed online on our website. If you still haven't found what you're looking for, give us a call at (877) 537-1818. Our intake coordinator can help connect you to a counselor or case manager who can work with you individually.
All workshops are free and open to everyone.
