Mini Grant Virtual Q&A Session
Overview Healthier Glades launched in fall 2017 in the Western area of Palm Beach County with rich culture and agricultural assets. The Glades is the collective of four communities Belle Glade, Pahokee, South Bay and the unincorporated community of Canal Point located in the western section of the county along Lake Okeechobee. Our focus is behavioral health, with an emphasis on unlocking community strengths and changing the community narrative. We work with the Glades communities by beginning with the area s natural assets and resources including family, faith and friends. We believe behavioral health is how we cope with life stressors and what it means to be healthy and well physically, emotionally and spiritually.
