Here We Thrive consolidates MEND’s burgeoning intensive case-management services and is our most exciting intervention in the lives of those we serve. With the goal of individual and community resiliency in mind, we are combining the former Family Support Program and Pathways to Wellness and adding a new employment component to better serve the community in one hub. Here We Thrive is staffed with professionals willing and able to support participants through a process of uncovering and overcoming their (in many cases, long-term) challenges.
MEND's Pathways to Wellness Program serves those who report high food insecurity and elevated incidence of chronic disease (diabetes, hypertension, obesity, etc.). Through one-on-one & group guidance, the program helps families cultivate health habits leading to greater wellness. The clients who participate in our Pathways to Wellness group interventions such as fitness classes, nutrition education and cooking demonstrations are able to access free nutritious foods through our Little Health Market.
