Seacoast Mental Health Center Podcast by Molly Ewing

For my Girl Scout Gold Award Project I have created a series of podcasts, each one focusing on a different New Hampshire non-profit. I got the chance to interview representatives from each non-profit and they were able to tell me about the work their organization does for the community. The goal of the podcasts is to educate the public on the non-profit organizations that are helping the communities thrive. I want people to know about these organizations to be able to use them as a resource for them or their family but also I want the taxpayers of New Hampshire to learn about the non-profit organizations that receive state and town funding. I hope you enjoy the series and are able to learn about something you might never have known about.

In this episode I got the chance to interview Jodie Lubarsky and Rebecca Throop from the Seacoast Mental Health Center (SMHC). Jodie is the Child, Adolescence and Family Services Director and Rebecca is the Vice President of Community Relations. SMHC provides mental health treatment and evaluations to members of the New Hampshire Seacoast Community. Their goal is to provide quality accessible mental health treatment to those who need it in eastern Rockingham County. Jodie and Rebecca told me about the goals and mission of the organization, their shift to telehealth services due to the COVID-19 pandemic and where the organization receives funding.
