THE IDEA

• What if you a wallet-size card that has the main numbers to help yourself or a friend in a crisis?

• What if these numbers are mostly local?

 

WHY

• Addictions, mental health issues, a financial and personal crisis can impact any family at any time. While these are deep and complicated issues that require specialized resources and institute to tackle, we believe that offering a way to connect with these resources is critical.

• Murfreesboro Cares is a joint venture that aims to do just that! We will be providing contact information to local resources in the form of cards, Web, and posters. These are mostly local numbers contained in a card that you can have in your wallet and use or share when needed.

• This program gives us the means to help individuals in our community with mental health issues or aid those affected by circumstances such as domestic violence or sexual assault. With the support of Prevention Coalition for Success (PC4S) and the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Services.

• This initiative goes to show that we in Murfreesboro Care about all the members of our community.
