In one case, a law enforcement officer was hired by unsuspecting agencies, including the Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office, without knowledge of his previous clean-record agreement, which had concealed significant misconduct including embezzlement of agency funds.

This is a press release from the Humboldt Community Access and Resource Center:. Humboldt Community Access and Resource Center (HCAR), a non-profit agency dedicated to supporting individuals with developmental disabilities since 1955, is excited to announce the launch of its new counseling services. This initiative aims to address the unmet emotional support needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, while also extending these services to the broader community. “We are pleased to announce that HCAR is launching a new counseling service,” said Executive Director Kim Nash. “By expanding into clinical services, we aim to fulfill identified emotional support needs. Our commitment to community well-being is strengthened by the generous support from Humboldt Area Foundation and Humboldt Health Foundation, who have awarded us $27,000 to get this service off the ground.” HCAR’s mission is to connect people with disabilities to opportunities while fostering inclusion and creating programs for learning, living, and employment. The introduction of counseling services will further enhance this mission by offering essential mental health support. The new counseling program will be led by Ms. Pennie Lee, a licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. Ms. Lee brings a diverse skill set with specializations in dialectical behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and traumafocused work. Her expertise will play a crucial role in strengthening the lifelong developmental process for individuals and families in our community. “A stronger, healthier community benefits us all,” added Nash . “We invite everyone to join us in welcoming Ms. Lee and to take advantage of our new mental health counseling services.” For more information about HCAR’s new counseling services contact us directly at (707) 296-0646 or by email [email protected].
