We are excited to announce the launch of a new group as part of our ongoing collaborative efforts to provide cost-effective resources and reduce barriers to care for our community. Starting this October, we are introducing “The Empower Hour” for youth in grades 7-9 created and facilitated by Holly Fischer-Engel, LICSW, a licensed therapist with extensive experience in youth empowerment and mental health.
