As we look ahead to a new presidential administration, we have embarked on an extensive, proactive election scenario planning process to help ensure the continuation of our mission. We remain dedicated to providing the support our program participants need, and are prioritizing their mental health, well-being, and safety. As we approach inauguration on January 20, 2025, and the first 100 days of the new administration, we will continue following our plans to support business continuity. We are grateful for our staff, board, volunteers, those we have the privilege to serve, and our loyal supporters. #HeartlandHumanCareServices #Advocacy #HousingSupport #Refugees #WorkforceDevelopment #FinancialTraining #ChildWelfare #YouthSupport #ImmigrantServices - The tradition of trick-or-treating has its roots in Scotland and Ireland. Long before Halloween became a celebration of candy and costumes, people in these countries would go house to house in disguise, performing tricks or songs in exchange for treats. This custom dates back to the 16th century, forming the foundation of today’s Halloween celebrations. Another example of how the American story is one of many voices, histories, and perspectives.#AmericanStory #History #CulturalExchange #Perspectives #ManyVoices #Tradition #HeartlandHumanCareServices
- Our Rapid Employment and Development Initiative (READi) provides cognitive behavioral interventions combined with paid transitional jobs to help individuals heal, learn, and succeed. Following is an excerpt of a message from a Program Participant: “I am doing great! Still here standing strong. This from a man beat down in life. Thank you for believing in me! I needed to see if a great man was in me and did that through READi. You helped me with my anger and with how to be a better man. The world needs more like you that care and not judge. I just wanted you to know that.” #HeartlandHumanCareServices #MentalHealth #JobTraining #WorkforceDevelopment #SocialWork #CommunitySupport #READi #SuccessStory #SecondChances
