GOOD HEALTH is MORE than just ABSENCE of ILLNESS! As part of a training attended by FCCP staff taught in part by @psnri1 we were reminded of the 8 components of wellness. FCCP works to help families achieve greater quality of life in these all of these areas, depending on the Family’s needs and wants of course! Where would you say you are most well? Least well?

Courage House Spotlight! Key Program Inc. is an organization located in Framingham, Massachusetts that was founded in 1974. The genesis of the program was in response to the state of Massachusetts closing down the "training schools" for adolescents because research had shown an abusive culture existed in the schools. Key Program was created to provide those very students with an outreach program where kids and their families are provided mental health support, sheltering support, and so much more. They not only operate in Massachusetts, but they are also making an impact in the Rhode Island communities as well. Key Program is the Courage House of The @patriots and with that partnership, there has been so much incredible work done so far, but we know there is still so much more work to be done.

#MemberTestimonial from Bill Lyttle, former President and CEO at The Key Program Inc.! Thank you for being such a valuable member to CLM!
