This week we wanted to highlight ERIC’s partnership with findhelp.org, a website designed to match users with health and wellness programs. This partnership was a monumental tool to the ERIC arsenal because findhelp.org can provide assistance to hundreds of communities across the nation. Expanding has always been the goal for ERIC and doing so in the most comprehensive and meaningful ways has been the obstacle. Findhelp.org has been immensely useful and ERIC is proud to partner with them and spread our message.
The website is very easy to use, you may start on ERIC’s SCREEN UP page or from the findhelp.org website. Here are instructions for you to follow!
