North Community Counseling Centers stayed actively engaged in the community throughout May by participating in a variety of outreach events and initiatives across Central Ohio. Our team attended the City of Gahanna Division of Police Mental Health Resource Fair and the OSU Wexner Mental Health Fair, continuing to share resources and connect individuals with behavioral health support services.
Our Women’s Empowerment Program participated in Rise Up CBUS events at Fruit of the Spirit and Highland Presbyterian Church. WEP Thrive and Flourish group members also attended the Harmony Project’s Concert for Humanity at the Columbus Commons, enjoying music from 1976. Meanwhile, school-based staff Destiny Rasnick and Chelsea Andrix represented NCCC at Fort Hayes High School’s Freshmen Orientation and the “Spring Fling” event at World Language Middle School. Additionally, our Next Generation clients had the opportunity to attend a Columbus Clippers game through the Franklin County Office on Aging, helping foster community connection and engagement.
