Tupelo Social Services Coordinator Keri Dykes (center) is a member of a group that meet monthly to brainstorm ideas and network to identify and address one another’s needs. According to Dykes, the meetings “have proven to be an excellent resource for finding volunteers to teach life skills classes, opportunities for volunteering, and finding agencies to aid our residents with their reentry needs”. Over half of those attending specialize in mental health and addiction services. Also attending the most recent meeting were Resident Monitor Taurus Ward (left) and Director Tina Johnson (right).
