We are excited to formally launch a new outreach and prevention program that, as allowed and encouraged by both the Legislative and Executive branches of State of Florida, partners with our local and regional faith based community.  For decades, if not longer, our faith based communities have engaged in pioneering programs focused upon the challenges, needs, and opportunities present within their local communities. Through this collaborative effort, our agency aims to harness the rich expertise and resources of our local and regional faith-based community to address the pressing issues of mental health and substance abuse. By leveraging their deep-rooted connections, extensive networks, and compassionate approach, we are confident that this program will make a profound and lasting impact on individuals and families affected by these challenges. This partnership not only strengthens the bond between our agency and the faith-based community, but it also empowers us to tap into the wisdom, compassion, and resilience that have long characterized their pioneering initiatives. Together, we strive to create a safer, healthier, and more supportive environment for all members of our community.
