'It provides crisis intervention, provides hope and healing for folks who are in substance abuse, who are teenagers, and they have historically provided counseling and therapy to those, especially our teens and children,' Hurley said. Through the years and up until recently, Hurley says their program DC Connect partnered with Family Services of Davidson County to help community members get connected with some much-needed resources.

This is a loss Hurley says will hurt Davidson County, which already lacks mental health resources. 'We saw lots of transitions during COVID. We saw [fewer] therapists, and the way we met needs changed. It's been hard to come back from some of those things with the lack of therapists available,' Hurley said. Though Family Services of Davidson County will no longer provide clinical counseling and other community services, Hurley says DC Connect is on standby to help community members find alternatives. 'We have , , . is [a federally qualified health center] that offers behavioral health, and they have a great provider there for children, but they are, of course, lacking in licensed clinical behavioral health as well,' Hurley said.
