Mariah, a mother of two, participated in the Community Education and Resiliency Program at her daughter’s school last year. In this series of the group on Zoom, Mariah shared that she was feeling more overwhelmed than ever, and through case management, she found out about resources to help her alleviate the current problems she was facing. Mariah needed new employment opportunities, and she received job listings and virtual job fair postings. She explained to staff that she was a victim of identity theft when she was a child, and that she still had an extremely high utility bill that she was struggling to pay down. Through this program, Mariah was connected to a COVID-19 relief program that assisted her in paying down a sizeable portion of this bill. Mariah shared that felt like she was managing life all on her own, and this program helped her feel supported and encouraged.
