We are the social arm of the Catholic Church, but we operate in such a way that we are a separate entity. And when you look at the mission and values, so much of what we do are, we are the hands and feet of Jesus in the community.
In this insightful episode of the Keeping Ashland Healthy podcast, host David Ross sits down with Cheryl Villegas, the director of Catholic Charities Diocese of Cleveland. Cheryl shares her educational journey from Lorain County to Cleveland State University and her transition to working at Catholic Charities. She highlights the organisation's mission to serve everyone, regardless of faith, and discusses the range of services offered, from early childhood programmes to services for older adults.
The conversation delves into the challenges of workforce recruitment and retention in community-based mental health and the importance of partnerships in addressing community needs. Cheryl also emphasises the commitment to providing services, irrespective of a person's ability to pay, and the organisation's dedication to meeting the diverse needs of Ashland County residents.
