Project Title: Beginning Stages
Project Description:

Our mission is to provide high-quality accessible counseling services to caregivers as they navigate emotional and psychological challenges. Today, we are reaching out to you because we believe that with your support, we can make a significant impact on the lives of mothers and daughters in our community through our "Moments with Mom" program.

"Moments with Mom" is a trauma-focused family therapy program designed to improve and reconnect mother and daughter relationships. Two passionate African American women, Dr. Massey-Lambert and Katie Onitiri, both psychologists and psychotherapists, initiated FCGC when they recognized the need for accessible mental health services in their community, particularly for families facing trauma.

We are seeking funds to launch this program successfully. Your contribution will specifically help us in two key areas:

1. Consultant for Administrative Streamlining:
We aim to hire a consultant to streamline our administrative processes, ensuring efficient utilization of resources and adherence to best practices. This step is crucial in establishing a strong foundation for our organization.

2. Therapy Sessions for 10 Mothers and Daughters:
Your support will fund therapy sessions for ten mother-daughter pairs, allowing them to participate in a comprehensive six-week trauma-focused family therapy program. The $800 donation covers the costs of professional services, materials, and assessments for each family.

At FCGC, we firmly believe that healing begins at home. By supporting Moments with Mom, you contribute to the creation of healthier family dynamics, positively impacting our community for generations to come.
