This summer we were gifted with the services of Jessica Speares (pictured painting a neighborhood face at our Block Party), a premedical student at Roberts Wesleyan College who gathered a team and conducted a health resources survey of leaders and residents in the neighborhood. She was delighted with the reception she received and the results she was able to gather.
In her report to the community on August 21st, Jessica reviewed the results of her study which revealed a need in our neighborhood for increased youth services, especially for teenagers, and easier access to counseling and referral services. We’re going to be actively working with her and others to find some solutions this coming year.
Her full report is available as an online PowerPoint presentation as well as in a written outline. If you’d like to help, just give us a call!
