Announcements Pro Bono Counseling Network-- Volunteer NOW!
NCPF had been operating a pro-bono counseling partnership with Rape Crisis. This has served as a pilot program for the newly launched Pro-Bono Therapy Network. NCPF Board Member, Debbie Barrett, also serves on the Advisory Board for this new program. She has the following invitation to the clinical community:
Dear members of our clinical community,
It is with much pleasure that I share with you the long awaited launching of the "Pro Bono Counseling Network" project thanks to the effort of many committed individuals, and the financial support of agencies such as OPC and Healthy Carolinians in Orange County. Over the years in which we sought to launch such a program to assist individuals with mental health needs who would otherwise "fall through the cracks." Many of you have expressed dismay about the growing gap in service and motivation to help. This project, which transformed over time, has become the ProBono Counseling Network, and it will serve English and Spanish speaking clients in Orange, Person, Chatham, and Durham counties. It provides a way for each of us to do a part.
I am also delighted to share that the Network has hired Michelle Johnson, LCSW, as Program Manager. Michelle will be coordinating this large collaborative project, housed at MHA-OC, which involves matching with clinicians who volunteer to see one (or two) clients per year. This is where each of you comes in. The calls from clients have now begun. We ask that you consider volunteering to treat one client pro-bono. The target population is people who are generally mentally health (do not have severe or persistent mental illness) and are without financial insurance or health insurance (or have inadequate insurance for mental health coverage.)
In exchange, you will be part of this community effort to strive to provide needed services for those who could otherwise not afford them, part of important data collection for policy advocacy work, as well as free opportunities for professional growth and networking. For more information please contact Michelle Johnson at [email protected].
This is a phenomenal achievement for our communities, and as they say...... "Many hands make light work."
