Child and Family Resource Center urges Hartsville families to seek support; highlights local "Hope in Hartsville" efforts
Summary
A representative from the Child and Family Resource Foundation updated the council about services and community outreach, urging residents to use local supports for education, mental health and parenting needs and pointing to a local "Hope in Hartsville" proclamation and a resource center at 122 East Elm.
Darnie McCutcheon, representing the Child and Family Resource Foundation, presented to the Hartsville City Council on March 11 to describe the foundation's services and local outreach.
"Not every struggle is visible," McCutcheon told council and the live audience, summarizing the foundation's work connecting families to education help, mental-health guidance, parenting resources and hands-on support. She said the center aims to make it easier for families in Hartsville to find help and referenced the center's location at 122 East Elm.
McCutcheon noted that Mayor Hancock had recently declared a "Hope in Hartsville" proclamation, and she said the foundation is working to ensure the declaration translates into concrete assistance and visibility for families in need. She encouraged residents to use the foundation's website (childandfamilyresourcefoundation.com) and to contact the center when they encounter families who need support.
Councilmembers thanked McCutcheon for the presentation; the mayor said he had met with McCutcheon previously to learn more about grief counseling and other services the group provides. No formal action or funding request was made at the meeting; the item was presented for the council's information and for possible staff follow-up on visibility and referrals.
