Substance misuse and mental health issues can potentially overlap into child abuse, abandonment and neglect. That’s where our FamiliesFirst Network team can step in to help ensure the safety of children while our Lakeview Center behavioral health care teams work with the parents to receive recovery services. FamiliesFirst also serves foster children with special needs, supported by Lakeview Center. As children and families’ needs expand and contract, our teams collaborate to adapt and develop innovative solutions in serving Gulf Coast families.
We also help persons with disabilities who are seeking meaningful work and independence. Global Connections to Employment provides job opportunities across a diverse pool of business lines, from facilities maintenance to food services and contact center support to IT services. This includes people with mental health needs and intellectual disabilities served at Lakeview Center. GCE also provides opportunities to young adults aging out of the foster care system served through FamiliesFirst Network.
Because of LifeView Group, people with mental illnesses and addiction disorders can get the treatments they need, people with disabilities can find employment, and children who have experienced abuse or neglect can know safety and stability.
