Transformative Changes in North Carolina

North Carolina has embarked on a visionary journey toward improving community well-being through the NC Community Resource Center, an innovative initiative by Truusight. As a significant player in addressing pressing community needs, this resource center aims to provide essential services and opportunities to individuals and families in Cabarrus and Stanly Counties. It stands as a testament to North Carolina's commitment to progress and well-being.

TruuCONNECT: Empowering Communities

At the core of this initiative is TruuCONNECT, a flagship program designed to tackle economic stability, mental health issues, and community well-being. By acting as a centralized hub, the NC Community Resource Center fosters collaboration among employers, local organizations, government agencies, and community partners. It delivers vital resources that encompass employment, education, healthcare, housing, and substance use services.

Jonathan Ferguson, CEO of Truusight, emphasizes the state’s commitment by stating, "The State of North Carolina has consistently demonstrated its dedication to the well-being of its residents, and the NC Community Resource Center is a reflection of that commitment. Our shared vision is to empower communities with tools to thrive, removing barriers and creating connections that lead to lasting change."

Partnerships Driving Change

The NC Community Resource Center thrives thanks to the partnerships fostered with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the state's legislative leadership. Their goal is to eventually expand this initiative statewide, ensuring access to vital resources for every North Carolinian.

Ferguson asserts that North Carolina's leaders are pushing for transformative changes by prioritizing mental health and economic resilience while describing the center as a blueprint for communities throughout the state.

Addressing Workforce Challenges

A pressing issue throughout the country is the number of Americans grappling with substance use disorders—approximately 75% remain untreated while being part of the workforce.
