Mission
To develop a community that serves, supports, collaborates and succeeds together.
My People Community Services was founded in 2014 with a vision to engage in community-based therapeutic and preventive initiatives directly within the Hartford community. Too often, community members must engage with one of the "systems" (educational, court, or social services) to address their mental health and behavioral needs, resulting in services and support dictated by the referring entity's terms rather than their own conditions. This introduction has contributed to much of the community becoming weary and distrustful of social service providers and consequently, lends to exacerbated suffering from trauma, abuse, and misinformation. With all of this in mind, My People Community Services endeavors to build trust with the community and create and provide supports to help individuals heal, feel supported and uplifted.
When an individual takes ownership in their community and sees themselves as a part of something bigger, it allows for the individual and community to thrive." |
