COMMUNITY NAVIGATOR PROGRAM
The Community Navigator program was established in partnership with many agencies to build our non-profit partners' capacity, engage more community volunteers, and support individuals and families. These volunteers will help clients: - prepare paperwork - gather documentation - access to community resources that might benefit and/or support their needs. This program will help deliver services that can help individuals become financially stable and create a long-lasting connection to organizations that can assist individuals in the future as well. This will allow those most in need in our community to have a successful initial meeting to access community resources and programs. Fellowship Hi-Crest is one of four host locations for the program. There will be a volunteer with the program here Monday-Thursday, 8 am-3 pm. They will be located in Room 103. As the program starts seeing clients, they will refine their hours of availability. Additional communication, phone numbers, and links will be added once received. Please continue to watch for updates!

Real-World Parenting Conversations
Each month, we'll highlight a different topic related to mental health challenges that kids and teens experience. On the first three Thursdays of the month, we’ll post a helpful 3-5 minute Facebook video on the Topic of the Month. On the fourth Thursday of each month, from 6:30-7:30 p.m. CT, we will host a live Zoom Q&A featuring an FSGC mental health professional. They will answer live questions about the Topic of the Month during the Q&A as well as pre-submitted questions.
