CLIENT CORNER! Jake* has worked tirelessly to maintain his sobriety. Upon meeting with a Familylinks Community Health Worker (CHW), it was discovered that, due to losing his job, having his SNAP benefits terminated, and receiving a 10-day eviction notice, Jake was closer than ever to relapsing. The CHW supported him in obtaining rental assistance, connected him to resources for food, and researched steady employment opportunities with Jake. Shortly after their initial meeting, the CHW received a text from Jake stating, “You give me a little bit of hope, I’m not so desperate as I was, you know, it really means a lot …” Due to the efforts of the CHW, Jake is increasing his stability and independence and is better equipped to earn a living. Most importantly, Jake remains in recovery. *Names and images do not represent actual clients of Familylinks
