Christina G. Smith Community Mental Health Foundation

I had the pleasure of working with Melanie during a really difficult time for my family. Her weekly sessions were so so vital in helping myself and my family through it. My kids looked forward to our sessions and it was meaningful each week.We made so much progress and I don’t think we would be where we are today without her help and guidance along the way. We completed our journey together and she will always hold a very special place in our hearts for the outstanding work she did. She is truly one of a kind and her passion in her work really shows and makes a huge impact on everyone she encounters. She is truly a blessing. 10/10 recommend.

Our family had a good experience working with Smith Community. My son's therapist Lisa was the best and they worked well together helping him. She would include all of us in some of his sessions which really helped him open up and have more dialog. His coordinator Cindy was very informative around the process. She would ask if there were any additional resources they could help us with finding for him.

I reached out to this center 2 months ago because I have a troubled daughter, spoke to ms Bailey who referred me to Arlene and Daphne Joseph I’ve called and left 15 voicemails over the past 3 weeks On Daphne’s Joseph voicemail… She has not returned any call… I’ve expressed how many times my daughter has run away I expressed the suicide I broke down begging for help no returned calls… I feel discriminated against! Calling and calling I’m begging and I’m crying and I’m leaving voicemails and no one can return my call almost a month later? How can I not feel discriminated against? you can help everyone else but you can’t help me? Since the calls… My daughter has cut herself about 40 times ran away three times… And created a suicide journal I told Miss Bailey I don’t have no help I told Miss Bailey we new here to Florida I don’t have any family… I’m lost I’m not getting any help from the school so I’m not getting any help from anywhere… I’ve been begging for a targeted case manager and again… No one is returning my call
