Hats Off to Helping Others
Thursday, October 1st, 2009Carolgirl Thomas asked:
I have a passion to help others so I decided to open an online hat shop, and teach myself how to become a home-based business owner. When I have made “Let Us Hat You” a successful site, I will use my knowledge to teach mental health consumers how to work from home and become sustainable.
Consequently, I will be concentrating on building a nonprofit organization (New FoundMinds) that involves mental health consumers and veterans learning a new innovative way to integrate back into the community as productive, sustainable members. I mean to do this by building supported housing for mental health consumers and veterans returning home who need support and a nice, stable comfortable place to live while making his or her reintegration back into the community.
Additionally, I graduated from Atlanta Technical College in June 2009 with an Associate’s Degree in Marketing Management earning a Certificate in Small Business Management. I will earn a B.S. degree from Georgia State University at the Andrew Young School of Public Policy where my concentration will be social entrepreneurship and nonprofit management. Therefore, when you shop at this site you will help open up a whole world of new possibilities for our brave veterans and mental health consumers. http:letushatyou.com
New FoundMinds wants to build a community for those consumers who find themselves not severe enough to warrant placement in care homes or homes that are not designed for independence and sustainability for the client. By developing a well-rounded resourceful reintegration program available to support homeless veterans and mental health consumers in mastering the complexities of reintegration along with enriching activities our program will encourage self-sufficiency and sustainability. A proposed collaboration and partnership with CommonGround (COMMON GROUND is an international leader in the development of solutions to homelessness) New FoundMinds will provide supportive permanent housing with social services.
Supportive housing combines affordable accommodations with services like mental health and substance abuse counseling, job training and placement, community activities, and help with life skills like cooking and money management.
Becoming productive members of their communities has been a national wide initiative for the mental health community. Collaborating with Georgia Mental Health programs and Peer Support groups FoundMinds proposes to implement a reintegration program with the capacity to address the needs of the clients (mental health consumers) by raising awareness of the need for a specialized structure for successful reintegration back to their respective communities, home, and workplace.
