Southbury Community Trust Awards Grant to Wellspring Second Year in a Row

BETHLEHEM, Conn. - June 16, 2014 - PRLog -- For the second consecutive year, the Southbury Community Trust at the Connecticut Community Foundation has awarded Wellspring Counseling Centers with a $10,000 grant to offset the cost of mental health services for Southbury residents who cannot otherwise afford counseling services.

This grant allows Wellspring to offer mental health counseling to any resident of Southbury who does not have insurance or cannot afford their co-pays. The money is earmarked to provide services for individuals and families who are uninsured or underinsured and in need of counseling.

In 2013, Wellspring Counseling Centers provided 6,100 sessions to the community – over 500 children, families and individuals. Wellspring Counseling Centers has two locations, at 21 Arch Bridge Road, Bethlehem and at 850 Straits Turnpike Middlebury, to offer outpatient services for children, adolescents, adults and families.

With a clinical team that includes over 15 master’s level clinicians and two board-certified psychiatrists, the Wellspring Counseling Center is positioned to meet the needs of the surrounding communities. They help clients facing emotional and psychological issues such as anxiety, depression and mood disorders, stress and adjustment issues, interpersonal relationships, and working through trauma and loss.  Wellspring’s therapists are also familiar with issues surrounding seniors such as grandparents raising children, adult children living with parents, bereavement and managing conflict with family members.

Wellspring is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
