The City of Jacksonville is launching a program to help address a side-effect of violent crimes -- specifically, the impact it can have on our youth and our community.
Mental health care is just as important as physical well-being. That’s the message that leaders from the City of Jacksonville, Jacksonville Transportation Authority, and the Church of Oakland Baptist Church wanted to share on Wednesday morning during a press conference at the Church of Oakland in Jacksonville’s Eastside.
“Jacksonville is my home and because it’s my home, I’ve seen, unfortunately, deterioration in some communities,” she said.“We’re looking now at targeted neighborhoods. How can we get the resources there?” Meanwhile, people have been going to the Church of Oakland for guidance for almost 142 years. The community landmark is now led by Pastor Christopher McKee.Though he grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, he can relate to the struggles kids here experience.
