Housing Continuum
Recovery Connect wants to teach everyone in Cleveland County about different housing options, kind of like a menu for finding a place to live. This "housing menu" has different choices depending on what people need. There are shelters for people in an emergency who need a safe place to stay right away. There are also places for people who are moving towards a permanent home, like families who are saving up for their place. The menu even has options for affordable apartments and houses, and special places with extra help for people who need it for a longer time. By understanding this whole menu, people and those who make decisions (policymakers) can see how complicated housing can be and why we need all these different options. Recovery Connect wants to make it clear what kind of housing help is out there and connect people with places to live and other support they might need in Cleveland County.
Person-Centered Care Management
At Recovery Connect, we help people in Cleveland County understand how getting all the care they need, like housing help, education classes, or job training, can make a big difference in their health. This is called wraparound care, and it's important for many things, not just getting better from an illness but also for dealing with addiction, managing a long-term health condition, or anything else that might be affecting their life. We want to give people the knowledge they need to get the right kind of care, whether that means working with a special team of doctors and nurses, using new technology, or having a personalized treatment plan. By knowing what resources are available, people can make choices about their health, take an active role in getting better, and feel better overall – not just themselves, but also their families!
Integrated Physical and Behavioral Health Needs
Recovery Connect is like a bridge between your physical health and your mental health. We connect people in Cleveland County to doctors and counselors who work together as a team. They know that when you're feeling good mentally, it can help your body heal faster, and vice versa. We want to teach people why taking care of both your mind and body is important. We do this by giving you information, and resources, and helping you find doctors and counselors who work together. This way, you get the most complete care possible to feel your best overall. We work with other healthcare professionals and community groups to make sure everyone has access to this kind of care. Our goal is to make taking care of your whole self, mind, and body, a normal thing for everyone in Cleveland County.
Employment and Education
Recovery Connect wants to help people in Cleveland County find good jobs and get an education. They know that having a steady job and going to school makes people feel good about themselves and have money. Recovery Connect uses its website to tell people about things that can help them, like job training classes, career counselors who can give advice, and places to find school information. They give people the tools to find careers they'll enjoy and keep learning throughout their lives. Recovery Connect also works with businesses, schools, and the government to create opportunities for people to learn new skills, get hired for jobs, and do well in school. Their goal is to connect people with the resources they need to succeed in their jobs and education, making Cleveland County have a stronger workforce and a more prosperous economy.
