Clinics to be offered:
We offer monthly clinics to help residents with life skills and guidance on key areas of concern. Possibilities include:
- Jobs – how to write a resume, get a job, and keep a job.
- Careers – Evaluate long-term career possibilities and then work with the recovery addict to create a path towards that long-term goal. Example: Working at a fast-food restaurant may pay the bills, but we would encourage them to find a career suitable for them. If they would like to become a nurse, we could show them how to get into CNA classes, get a job related to CNA work, and then look at nursing school as they become more stable.
- Parenting – how to raise children with Godly principles.
- Godly love / relationships – addressing past issues regarding domestic abuse / defective relationships, and then raising expectation for future relationships.
- Self-worth and identity in Christ. Helping them learn to love themselves and discover who Christ is calling them to be.
- Financial counseling – how to budget, pay bills, save for the future, etc. with Godly financial principles.
- Essential cooking skills - how to plan basic meals, shop for ingredients, and prepare meals.
Clinic counselors are from the community and local churches. We would be seeking people that would offer regular clinics, but also be available for one-on-one appointments. We would be seeking a teacher and mentor that is willing to invest in people – rather than merely teaching a class.
