Vamos juntos

Intersect’s mission is to support those at the intersection of faith and mental health.

Dirigido por un equipo de personal preparado para capacitar, consultar y colaborar con proveedores de servicios humanos y miembros de comunidades religiosas, nuestro objetivo es equipar a la comunidad para ayudar a la comunidad.

Muchas necesidades de la comunidad van más allá del alcance de los líderes religiosos, los trabajadores del condado, los proveedores y otros por sí solos.

Proporcionar cuidado holístico, un principio fundamental de nuestra filosofía de atención, implica la asociación y la colaboración entre grupos comunitarios.

Al cerrar la brecha y unir a las personas, Intersect Network se conecta estas facetas importantes de la comunidad para desarrollar estrategias y planes para abordar las necesidades de la comunidad que, de otro modo, podrían quedar insatisfechas.

Abordar problemas difíciles

A medida que Intersect Network aprende y crece, continúan brindando capacitación a la comunidad local y se expanden más allá de eso a otras comunidades que necesitan hacer estas conexiones.

Navegar por la intersección de la fe y la salud mental nos obliga a abordar temas de los que tradicionalmente es difícil hablar. A través de Intersect, estamos trabajando para ayudar a las comunidades religiosas y a los proveedores de servicios a abordar temas complejos como la intervención contra el suicidio, el apoyo espiritual como proveedor secular y una visión bíblica de las enfermedades mentales.

?A lot of faith communities recognize that they have people in their congregation who are living with mental illness but they?re not sure how to help them best. Intersect can serve as a consultant to these communities. Social service agencies often struggle to see people holistically and to include a spiritual component in care, which many people bring as an important part of their lives. Intersect can provide consultation to people in social services to help them be more effective supporters for people from a holistic perspective."

Fomento de la colaboración

Él Facebook de las necesidades de la comunidad de Intersect es un portal de atención para comunidades religiosas que buscan satisfacer las necesidades locales en los condados de Bucks y Montgomery. Esta es solo una de las formas en que trabajamos para fomentar la colaboración.

Esta página publica las necesidades específicas de las personas respaldadas por Access Services y puede incluir necesidades de tiempo, recursos materiales y/o donaciones monetarias.

Te animamos a compartir esta página con tu familia y amigos. Si bien comenzamos esta página para brindar oportunidades de servicio concretas a las comunidades religiosas locales, alentamos a cualquier miembro de la comunidad que esté interesado en retribuir a unirse.

Multi-Faith Coalition

The Montgomery County Multi-Faith Coalition cultivates trust and collaboration between people from diverse faith communities and service organizations by acting as a convener to promote dialogue and resource sharing for the common good.

Led by a team of volunteers representing faith communities, human services organizations, and Montgomery County government, it is our goal to strengthen our collective efforts to improve the overall health of our region.
