This month marks the three-year anniversary of our Belong division serving as the lead provider for Community-Based Care (CBC) in the South Central and Hill Country Region!💙✨ CBC allows local communities to meet children’s and their families’ unique and individual needs by tapping into the strengths and resources of each community. Not only has this approach allowed for children to stay more connected and closer to home, it has encouraged the community as a whole to wrap around their most vulnerable members who need them most.💫🫂 We would like to thank our providers and community partners who have played a vital role in the successful implementation of Community-Based Care. Without your help, this would not be possible❣️ #SJRCTexas #Belong #ComunityBasedCare #TraumaInformedCare #YouthTreatment #FosterCare #CommunityPartners #TransformingTomorrowTogether
