A behavioral wellness resource center with an attitude and philosophy


                                                                          An AI rendition

Communities provide us venues which spark event-settings.  Our defining moment is captured in the ethos of agreeing to begin somewhere to get somewhere.

We know where to go for watch-parties.

We know where to go to fix a car.

We can point out where a fav restaurant is.

Life experiences become memorable or purposive when they are linked to goals or values.

But this tends to miss the character of capacity which goes hand in hand with objectives.

The objectives are further divided into interests, aspirations, dreams, desires and freedoms.

We have defined the objectives thereby structured or restricted our experiences to goals. For some the goals are abstract and for others they are a source of optimism.

What is challenging is that we assume all people will conform to set-in-stone goals.

So, by extension we may not have somewhere to go to relearn, reboot and readjust.

Life is fast-paced, an excuse may be proffered.

We have the ability for common capacities like walking from one point to another or waking up to go to school or work. 

  As well, we also have the ability to adjust due to different variables such as the weather, heat, need to feed and rest. 

The different variables are internally driven (intrinsic) or externally derived (extrinsic).  These are influencers. 

The influencers affect people differently. So, not all people experience life the same way. 

 Expectations are not lined up the same way. 

That is why we came up with a resource center to cater for the beneficiaries who take longer transitioning through life's rites of passage or experiences.  

The character of capacity is diverse so it means different people meet objectives differently.


This is how beneficiaries come to our behavioral wellness resource center. Some come to recover, relearn, share, socialize and de-stress.

Beneficiaries walk through our doors. They express their needs in words but we are aware there are deeper feelings they may not express but we agree to begin somewhere to get somewhere.

Faith, Community in Action, HUD’s Continuum of Care Facilitating Quality Life Outcomes

Image
Working with the Faith and Community entities as enablers of quality life outcomes is a game changer. Quality life outcomes manifest in a wider continuum and can be extended outside of clinical settings.  In a medical setting, health-related quality life outcomes (HRQLO) may be taken to mean medical metrics such as reduced bed admission, reduced bed stays, medical impact on social, mental and physical wellness.  They are vital for gauging healthcare interventions, performance, treatment plans, treatment outcomes and guidance on what to do next as far as referrals and continuum of care is concerned. At the community level these may be prompts for preparedness and readiness to uphold lifestyles that prevent diseases, promote health and prolong life. At Saint Charles Lwanga America Center Washington, D.C.,  we dedicate time, energy and resources to build and maintain ecosystems in which social, mental and physical wellness programs are conducted in an environmental milieu op...
