Wonderful story on island family | Letter

Published 7:00 pm Tuesday, December 6, 2011

In last week’s paper, there was a very beautiful and well written article that mentioned the Community Wellness Program being funded through San Juan County. The Community Wellness Program is a wonderful program that helps cover costs of mental health appointments and prescriptions for individual, couple, family, and child counseling, to name a few.

We at Orcas Family Connections are pleased to see the program growing, and are excited to hear the numerous success stories throughout our community.

There was a resource blurb posted at the end of the article that mentioned phone numbers to call if you were interested in the Community Wellness Program. The number listed for Orcas has recently changed; the phone number to reach the Family Resource Center on Orcas is now 376-3184. You may also come by the office at 1292 North Beach Road. Erin O’Dell, our family advocate, can help you in applying for the CWP program. Thanks again for the wonderful article about the real struggles that many island families are facing. We appreciate the note that we are making a difference, as we have many volunteers to thank for our success and growth. We are always taking more board members, and are hosting a membership drive this year.

For more info, you may also email the office at OrcasFRC@gmail.com.

Many thanks to our generous community.
