Mission

To develop a community that serves, supports, collaborates and succeeds together.
My People Community Services was established in 2014 out of the desire to do community-based, therapeutic and preventive work directly to the Hartford community.  Too often, community members have to be engaged in one of the "systems" (educational, court, or social services) to meet their mental health and behavioral health needs.  With that as the entry point, the community engages in services and supports the referring entity's terms rather than their conditions.  Due to this introduction to services and supports, our society has become weary of social service providers and has deemed therapy and groups only useful for "crazy people."  In turn, our community suffers from holding in trauma, accepting abuse, and tolerating misinformation because of the mistrust of the system and therapeutic providers.  With this in mind, My People Community Services endeavors to rebuild the trust with the community through our services and supports that have been created to help individuals heal, feel supported and uplift the community as a whole.


When an individual takes ownership in their community and sees themselves as a part of something bigger, it allows for individual and community to thrive"

Supportive Housing
