Douglas County Resource Guide

The Douglas County Community Resource Guide was created by students in SOWK 4650: Social Work in Mental Health & Intellectual Disability as part of a service learning project with Douglas County Community Mental Health Center. Focus groups with clients occurred in order to gather their feedback on the previous resource guide and seek input on what they wanted in the updated resource guide. The result is a client centered resource guide for the consumers of Douglas County Community Mental Health Center. GASSW students can also use it to access resources for clients during practica, and in eventual practice.
