”I brag about Interim wherever I go & I am so proud to be a part of it. I have worked in hospitals on mental health units since the early 90’s and I have never encountered a staff that values & respects the client’s like I have at Interim.
A Nurse
I am the Outreach Coordinator for the MCHOME Program. My job essentially is to supervise a team of Outreach Counselor IIs throughout Monterey County and assist these Counselor IIs in connecting homeless individuals to local services and providers, whether with Interim Inc. or other service providers. A lot of what I do is just walking alongside clients. I can’t run the race for them, but I can help them along in the race and help them determine what kind of steps to take. I think the best part about my job is the diverse amount of people I work with. I get to work with various Interim staff, as well as many community members and organizations. I also get the opportunity to understand our clients, identify with their story, and help them progress forward.”
Tip to Boost Your Mental Health - Reach out and show some love to someone in your life. Close, quality relationships are key for a happy, healthy life. Many individuals living with a mental illness can become estranged from family and friends as a result of their illness. The friends they find at Interim often become their extended family and community. Having people in our life who care about us and who we care about is an important part of life. People who feel more connected to others have lower levels of anxiety and depression. Moreover, studies show they also have higher self-esteem, greater empathy for others, are more trusting and cooperative and, as a consequence, others are more open to trusting and cooperating with them. #NationalWellnessMonth #MentalHealthAmerica
