Launched in the Summer of 2023 through a CARES ACT grant, the Urban League of Union County’s Mental Health and Wellness Program addresses the diverse mental health needs of individuals impacted by incarceration and other life challenges. As part of this initiative, we partnered with Flip Da Script Counseling Services to provide a comprehensive range of free services, including individual and family counseling, workshops, and peer support. Our goal is to equip clients with the coping skills, self-esteem, and resilience they need to improve their lives and successfully reintegrate into the community.
