Serving all regardless of religious affiliation, at their time of great need
Catholic Charities – Greene County Outreach offers counseling sessions for individuals, couples, and families, based on a sliding fee scale. Their counseling services include Co-Parenting and Trans-Parenting sessions for divorced and separating parents who wish to learn to communicate and collaborate better as they raise their children.
The Catholic Charities – Greene County Outreach heard about the Community Foundation of Fayette County from Bettie Stammerjohn of the Community Foundation of Greene County. They were awarded a grant from CFFC in the spring of 2018.
“The grant funded professional counseling. The deductible and co-pays were so burdensome that they did not seek counseling. So, the grant helped fund people who would not seek therapy due to funding,” said Gary Yaquinto, Director, Greene County Outreach.
The overall goal was to serve approximately 40 clients a total of roughly 200 face-to-face counseling and psychoeducational sessions.
“The services provided by this project were critical to improving client functioning, promoting self-sufficiency, and reducing barriers to good mental and emotion health for Greene County residents in need,” added Gary.
