COURTESY MOSAICS OF MERCY
While struggling to nd mental health resources for their loved ones, a group of ve ladies realized there was a need for an e cient mental health resource hub in Montgomery. In 2017, the group decided to take it upon them- selves to ll the gap in the lack of mental health guidance with Mosaics of Mercy, a nonpro t that helps the community navigate mental health and substance use recovery resources. “Having someone that understands the mental Mosaics of Mercy o ers hub for mental health aid
health system and getting them to the right providers can be really life-changing for people who’ve been struggling,” Executive Director Jamie Freels-Runey said. How it works Runey said Mosaics of Mercy started with a notebook lled with local mental health providers. Following COVID-19, Montgomery County found its suicide rate to be among the highest locally and nationally, leading to the formation of the Behav- ioral and Suicide Prevention Task Force. After joining forces with the Behavioral and Sui- cide Prevention Task Force, the county provided the funds Mosaics of Mercy needed to hire a group of licensed technicians and launch a database with
over 2,000 veri ed resources o ering a variety of mental health services. Along with a group of 10 licensed clinicians, Mosaics of Mercy works to connect individuals with appropriate services within 40 business hours. Services range from substance abuse treatment services, adolescent and adult residential treat- ment services, support groups, psychologists, psychiatrists and grief care groups. Connected via a phone call, each caller who con- tacts the nonpro t is provided with three mental health providers that best t their needs. Further extending a hand, Mosaics of Mercy follows up with each caller 72 hours after they are assisted to ensure e ciency in their search for help.
