ONE GOAL AT A TIME
Rates of mental illness are highest in low income communities. Nearly 1/3 of adults in low income households reported having an anxiety or depression diagnosis (Washington County Community Health Assessment 2019).
About 36% of TCC clients have limited work abilities due to severe mental and/or physical heath diagnosis. Many families have low incomes and become socially isolated as result. Families in TCC’s Family Connections Program receive support to reach their basic needs. TCC Advocates teach families how to live within their means and connect them to community. Families then work with TCC Advocates to develop short and long-term goals for their finances, housing, and family life.
All services are individualized to meet families’ goals.
THE HARD NUMBERS
