Seeking Volunteers // Mental Health Connect is an interfaith collaborative that works to provide community-based resources, support and education to improve access to mental health services and to connect individuals and families with the services they need. MHC Navigators work with a congregation’s ambassador to provide a direct link to the congregation as a whole and individuals within. If you are passionate about mental health, connecting people to resources, and helping plan events for your Redeemer community around mental health topics please contact Sara Hovren at sara@venturenorthbwc.org or by phone at (309) 826-8647. To learn more about Mental Health Connect check out their website at www.mhconnect.org.
