On Monday, December 11th, the Uvalde County Commissioners voted not to renew the County’s contract with the Ecumenical Center. The Uvalde Hesperian reached out to Mary Beth Fisk the Executive Director of the Ecumenical Center based out of San Antonio. Fisk provided the following statement:
“Since being selected and contracted to establish and oversee the Uvalde Together Resiliency Center in June 2022, the Ecumenical Center’s team of Texas-licensed trauma specialty professional counselors has conducted over 14,325 navigation and counseling sessions in English and Spanish, benefitting 5,260 individuals in the local community including children, adults, healthcare professionals, and first responders.
We are deeply honored and humbled to be a part of the healing journey of those affected by the tragic events that occurred at Robb Elementary in May 2022.
We care deeply about the people of Uvalde and our commitment to them remains steadfast as we continue to serve and support them in the coming months.”
