DescriptionDuring the past year, MCIDTF continued to expand its work focusing on building community resiliency. The Organization completed a project funded by BP through the Department of Mental Health that provided a range of counseling services in collaboration with Boat People SOS, Coastal Family Health Centers, and Memorial Hospital Behavioral Health for Kids. The Organization continued to strengthen their partnerships with provider organizations and faith based communities. As a result the Organization offered Adolescent Suicide Prevention Workshops for faith-based communities, community organizations and youth groups. The work in Disaster Preparedness continues to grow with the expansion of our network of Congregation Disaster Coordinators. The Organization hosted their sixth Community Wellness Conference which offered over 30 workshops and featured nationally known plenary speakers. Promoting and education around physical and emotional wellness are central pillars of work for the Organization. Trainings were offered in Cultural Competency helping professionals to be better equipped to respond to the needs of racial/ethnic coastal residents. The Organization continued to resource faith-based communities around emotional/spiritual wellness concerns.Description
