WALK AND TALK INITIATIVE

The concept for our walk-in talk consists of a three-member street team counseling team. The team will consist of one of our volunteers one licensed mental health professional and one individual from the local PD community policing division. This team will walk the streets several times a week meeting greeting and talking to homeless people who are also struggling with mental health issues. We believe many of these individuals do not have the ability or wherewithal to walk into a facility for treatment. The walk and talk initiative will bring a mental health model which has never before been mobilized. Our goal is to provide mental health services to the citizens of our community that are at their lowest and have no resources or even the will to pull themselves up from their current situation and seek treatment. The cost of the mental health professionals involved on the team will be covered by the licensed mental health professionals required pro bono hours. We are asking all licensed mental health professionals to consider the walk-in talk initiative and how they could get involved in their town. If you're a licensed mental health professional in the state of Florida please reach out to us so that we can give you additional information on our initiative.
