JFS would like to thank the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians for their generous $50,000 grant supporting "Increasing Current and Future Access to Mental Health Services in the Coachella Valley," utilizing supervised interns to bring one-on-one counseling and psychoeducation to clients who may not otherwise have access to the services. The program currently partners with fifteen local nonprofits, offering no-cost counseling to their clients as well as to participants at all six Let's Do Lunch! program sites. Access to mental health services will continue to increase as interns gain licensure and start practicing at local clinics. Support from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians helps make this possible for those who need it most. #CoachellaValleySupport #SanManuelBandOfMissionIndians #CommunityWellness #NonProfitPartnerships
