Monica Richmond - a Team Leader for our Supportive Housing Outreach Team – discusses what a "typical" day looks like for our Case Managers. Renaissance's Clinical Director, Erica Ernst, and Executive Director, Michael Banghart joined Monica for this conversation.

The Renaissance Living Room is an alternative to hospitals or the police when you’re having a mental health crisis or just too stressed and overwhelmed to cope, in a safe, home-like atmosphere. Why do we need The Living Room and how it helps will be discussed.

What do you do when you encounter a homeless person? Many people are unsure of how to help our most vulnerable neighbors and this Conversation answers this question and more.
