  • Dear community members,
    We are excited to announce the expansion of our free non-clinical mental health services and workforce readiness programs. At the Center for Urban Transformation, we recognize the critical need for accessible mental health support and the importance of offering opportunities for individuals to enhance their job placement prospects.

  • In addressing the pressing mental health challenges faced by many in our community, we aim to provide a comprehensive range of services.

  • Our experienced team of counselors and mental health professionals will continue to offer counseling, support groups, and workshops, all designed to promote emotional well-being and resilience.

  • Our newly-established job placement center will connect job seekers with local employers through networking events, resume workshops, and interview skills training. This program aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers, addressing the challenges of unemployment and underemployment.

  • Furthermore, we recognize the importance of public benefits in providing crucial support to vulnerable individuals and families. Our team is committed to assisting community members with public benefits enrollment and navigation. We understand that navigating the public benefits system can be overwhelming, and our dedicated professionals will provide guidance and ensure that resources are properly accessed.

  • At the Center for Urban Transformation, we firmly believe that mental health is interconnected with workforce readiness and access to public resources. By integrating these three pillars of support, we aim to empower individuals and families with the tools they need to thrive.
