FIRM’s staff and the community had a chance to share personal stories relating to mental health to the Fresno County Mental Health Board on Thursday, November 7. The purpose was to listen to the community on their ideas, what is working, what is not working, and what needs must the County reflect on for changes if needed for the community relating to mental health.
There were 2 speakers that represented FIRM and FIRM’s community that spoke on behalf of the mental health programs that are assisting them with direct services. FIRM’s mental health projects are funded through the County of Fresno and CalMHSA funds.
