3 STEP INTAKE PROCESS

Active Listening

Initial Welcome and Orientation

Listening with full attention, I strive to understand your circumstances without judgment. By reflecting key points, I confirm your voice is heard, building trust and reassuring you that I’m here to support your success.

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.

Connection

Empowering Your Success

As part of our intake process, we are committed to meeting you with compassion and respect, no matter where you’re starting from. Your starting point doesn’t define your potential—we see the greatness within you. During this process, we’ll identify how our wraparound services can best address your career, educational, and personal needs, ensuring you have the comprehensive support needed to thrive.

Rita's Helping Hand Mission

Our mission is to empower individuals, by providing comprehensive wraparound services that create pathways to workforce development, wellness and education.

Rita's Helping Hand Daily Bible Study

 
Scripture Reading:
Jeremiah 29:10-11
This is what the Lord says: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 
Devotional: Stay hungry for God, in prayer - Father show me NOW your way that I may know you. No matter what God wants to do for you, he cannot do it unless you agree with him and believe him. You must have active faith and believe God.
