Community Wellness Team

Promoting Wellness
Written By Fort Greene Park Conservancy

The Community Wellness Team is a group of peer specialists – people with lived experience who have been trained to support others who struggle with mental health, psychological trauma, or substance use - managed by our partner Services for the Underserved (S:US). The Team is developing relationships with park users and connecting those who want assistance with care and wellness support. 

The Team works six days a week, year-round, 9am to 6pm to provide services, including:

  • Connections to behavioral health clinics and detox/substance use programs

  • Harm reduction and holistic approaches to health 

  • Connections to safe havens and respite placements

  • Assistance with IDs and housing vouchers

  • Resume assistance

  • Connections to job centers and educational programs
