Outreach and Advocacy

The Casey Center intends to act as an active and vocal advocate for informing the community on mental health wellness through:

• Community psychoeducation so that we are all better equipped to help the people in our lives

• Activities designed to build lasting memories and increase the toolkit for coping with significant life changes

• An innovative schools-based program that connects our community’s youngest population with trained volunteers for individual and group counseling

At the heart of the organization is the Casey Center’s peer-based support group model, which normalizes the counseling experience by connecting with others who have similar experiences, showing them that a new normal is achievable. The Casey Center serves children, teens, and adults, and is continually conducting community outreach to better meet the needs of underserved populations in the community and to increase awareness of mental health needs. In 2018, we began partnering with Clay County School District schools to offer on-site support at public schools.
