Charisma’s Heart helps women, youth, parents, and families identify resources and community connections that may support the needs they are navigating.
You do not need to know the name of a program or organization before reaching out. Start with what you need, and we can help you explore possible next steps.
Finding help can become another task when you are already trying to manage a difficult situation, family responsibility, transition, or immediate need.
Resource navigation is about helping you identify what type of support may be useful and connecting you with organizations, programs, or information that may fit your situation.
Charisma’s Heart may provide information directly, connect you with a community partner, or refer you to an organization with specialized expertise.
You may know that your family needs food, but not which local program to contact.
You may need housing information without knowing which organization serves your situation.
You may have a legal question but need help identifying where qualified legal assistance is available.
That is what resource navigation is for.
Resource availability varies by location, eligibility, program capacity, and individual circumstances. Charisma’s Heart can help identify possible places to begin.
Connections related to food, clothing, hygiene products, household needs, school supplies, and other practical family resources.
Information and connections related to housing assistance, housing instability, tenant resources, shelters, and community housing programs.
Connections to youth programs, educational resources, mentoring opportunities, school-related support, and developmental opportunities.
Connections to specialized organizations, safety-planning information, survivor resources, and services for people experiencing abuse.
Referrals to legal aid organizations, community legal clinics, and qualified professionals for matters requiring legal information or advice.
Connections to nonprofits, public programs, community organizations, benefits, employment resources, and other local support systems.
Resource navigation is intended to make the process of looking for support more manageable.
Share the concern, goal, or type of support you are looking for.
We help identify relevant programs, organizations, information, or community resources.
When appropriate, we provide referral information or help identify where to contact the organization directly.
Resource navigation may also connect with other Charisma’s Heart support when those programs fit your goals and needs.
Charisma’s Heart can provide educational information and resource connections, but we are not an emergency or crisis-response service.
If you are experiencing abuse or are concerned about your safety, specialized organizations can help you understand available options and develop a plan based on your circumstances.
Call 911 or contact the appropriate emergency service in your area.
For domestic violence support, the National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
You can also text START to 88788.
Charisma’s Heart does not provide legal advice or legal representation. When a situation involves a legal question, our role is to help identify appropriate resources or organizations where qualified assistance may be available.
Resources may include organizations addressing protective or restraining orders, custody, visitation, and other family-related legal matters.
Referrals may include legal aid or community organizations that address tenant rights and housing-related legal concerns.
Depending on the situation, resources may include legal aid organizations, community legal clinics, or other qualified legal-service providers.
Charisma’s Heart provides resource information, referrals, mentorship, educational programming, and supportive navigation. We do not provide legal representation, medical care, mental health treatment, or emergency response services.
A referral does not guarantee eligibility, availability, acceptance, funding, or services from another organization. Each provider determines its own requirements and availability.
When specialized professional assistance is needed, individuals and families should work directly with appropriately qualified providers.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we can help you identify a possible place to begin.
