3 STEP INTAKE PROCESS

Active Listening

Initial Welcome and Orientation

Welcome! During our intake process, I listen with care and full attention to understand your unique circumstances—without judgment. I’ll reflect on key points you share to ensure you feel heard and valued. This helps us build trust from the start, and reassures you that you’re in a safe space where your success is our priority.

Guidance

Direction and Support

During this last step, we develop your personalized plan to support your growth and empowerment. Our goal is to provide you with the tools, resources, and ongoing support needed to overcome challenges and thrive. Everything you share is kept confidential, and our team is here to walk with you every step of the way.

Connection

Empowering Your Success

As we begin the intake process, our goal is to connect with you through compassion and respect—no matter your starting point. We believe in your potential and are here to help you access the resources and support that will empower your growth. Together, we’ll explore how our wraparound services can support your career, education, and personal goals so you can thrive.

Rita's Helping Hand Daily Bible Study

 
Scripture Reading:
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (AMP)
In 2nd Corinthians, Paul talks about his weaknesses not as something to be ashamed of, but as a platform for God's power to be displayed. Instead of hiding his struggles, he boasted about them because they were the very things that made God's strength evident. 
Reflection 
God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. When we surrender God shows up in ways we could never imagined. let's dive in! Ask God, Father show me how your strength is working through my weaknesses. 
 
Truth
Gods grace is sufficient: No matter what His grace will always be enough.
Weakness is an invitation for His power: The more you acknowledge  your limitations, the more room I give God to work.
Strength comes from surrender: When you stop striving to be strong on your own, you discover the limitless strength of God. 
 
It’s tempting to rely on our own strength, to think we can handle life on our own. But the truth is, our strength is limited. Jesus doesn’t just want a part of our lives—He wants to be the source of everything we do.
