"It’s been really cool to have this multi-disciplinary team of the therapist, RN, and community navigator come at the child and the family system from such different approaches, but they all complement each other."

Jazmine Silva
Community Navigator Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut Inc., Masters SW Student
"We're working to bridge the gap between crisis care and community support, helping kids avoid unnecessary trips to the ED by providing real-time evaluations and safety planning. It's about letting families know we're here when they need us most."
"With the growing need for mental health services, challenges like limited access to clinicians and cultural misunderstandings are becoming more apparent. The focus is on bridging these gaps, supporting families, and fostering stronger relationships within the New London community."
Gizelle E. Tircuit
Director of Health and Wellness Health Clinic Mitchell College - MS, LPC, DBT, CGTC
"Our community work, from student activities to adult health, focuses on supporting both these aspects together. Mental health care is more than just therapy; it’s about meeting people where they are and giving them what they need to thrive"
