Parkland Cares Details
Days after yet another deadly school shooting, grief counseling was available at the school and at walk-in facilities around Broward County, Florida, but sadly the efforts are a patchwork. They vary in expertise, duration, and effectiveness. Parkland Cares is designed to be a collaboration of partners striving to bring counseling services and information to communities in one location. This centralized portal brings a variety of crisis counseling and intervention services, short and long-term therapy, community referrals and more so that the ParklandCares.org site can keep an active and updated resource list at all times.When Howard Dvorkin, a 30-year Parkland resident and chairman of the locally based Debt.com, heard about the tragedy that happened only a few miles from his home, he contacted Henderson Behavioral Health immediately for guidance. "We are embarking on a project to not only counsel people in our backyard, but to create a model that can be used again – because unless something radically changes in this country, such a tragedy will happen again," says Dvorkin."Debt.com plans to support this collaboration in any way they can," Dvorkin says. "This means funding a substantial amount to pay for the services required to help victims and their families and using our existing staff to help organize efforts. We plan to fund as much as is needed to make a meaningful and direct impact on the lives of all those affected by this horrific tragedy. In the business world, we strive for best practices and maximum efficiency. I've been overwhelmed at how many wonderful agencies and people want to help, and now we want to coordinate the best intentions into real benefits for the survivors and beyond."
