This year, I have been privileged to serve as the Board Chair for Socialworx Advocacy Group. Socialworx began offering services in May and is already making a difference as a mental health and wellness resource in our community.

Why is it Important?

Imagine your child is at the end of their rope, standing on the edge of a cliff—desperate for help but unsure where to turn or how to begin. What a difficult, scary feeling. Now imagine having someone by their side, guiding them every step of the way toward hope and healing.

That’s what SocialWorx Advocacy Group does every single day. We offer resources, peer support, and education to individuals and families navigating mental health challenges.

We are dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental health and providing crucial support to underserved communities and anyone struggling to navigate the mental health care system.

For many, we are the difference between feeling lost and finding a path forward.

Our mission: To provide peer support to empower individuals in navigating mental health systems while helping others understand and address cultural needs.

Our method: Socialworx uses a 3-pronged approach to addressing the mental health needs in our community:

Mental Health Navigation: Personalized, ongoing assistance with finding providers and resources.

Cultural UnderstandingTraining: Addressing root causes and obstacles to care and communication by identifying and working through unconscious biases. Understanding cultural differences leads to stronger teamwork, improved client relationships, and overall organizational success.

Mental Health Resources: Wellness packets and customized resources for cultural needs and underserved populations.

Thank you for supporting Socialworx! You are making a difference.
