2:30 pm in the Harrison Room in Malone Hall.
Item Drive for FIND (Family Integrity Networking Demonstration) which is an in home therapy team. The Team goes into the children homes, schools, doctors offices, even court rooms, DHR, and Juvenile probation office if needed. They work with the whole family and everyone that surrounds the child for a least 12 weeks that have a serious emotional disturbance (such as, ADHD, Bipolar, Conduct Disorder, etc.). All of the children are in danger of being removed from the home put into mental health hospitals, foster care or detention centers
if they do not receive immediate intervention. Many of these children
have already been in mental health hospitals, foster care and detention
centers and are at risk of going back. They gave me a list of needed
items but said that if someone would like to get something that is not
on the list, that is fine as long as it is does not promote anything
negative such as toy guns or violent video games.
