Presenting service

Times Contributor 

 

FCSS has a new monthly information program that is open to the public, and it will highlight area services. Each month different programs and agencies will set up a booth at the Strathmore FCSS office, and/or hold a luncheon, present an informal platform, or provide a special speaker. This month the Addiction and Mental Health staff is holding an informal presentation.

“Strathmore FCSS has had conversations with service providers, and we feel that this forum will allow opportunities for more dialogue and updates about the different agencies in our community,” said Catherine Walsh, Strathmore FCSS coordinator. “It will also allow us to discuss how we can better work together, and identify what we are missing, and what we would like to see in the future.”

Walsh thinks it will be a benefit to service workers and the public alike.

FCSS will post each featured program in newspapers, at interagency meetings,  on the Town website, on Facebook and Twitter. 

Walsh thinks it will generate conversations in the community and provide networking opportunities. Gaps in service might be identified and it will lead to improvements for the future.

“Our hope for this initiative would be that the community of Strathmore has the most current information on service providers, allowing them to connect and build relationships,” said Walsh.

Anyone interested in participating is asked to contact the Strathmore FCSS.
