LAOA’s PEI Clinicians Connect with Seniors at Norwalk Senior Center

On April 3, two Telecare Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) Clinicians, Carmen Avalos and Anahi Munoz, delivered an impactful presentation at the Norwalk Senior Center. The clinicians presented in English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for all attendees. Two current clients also had the opportunity to attend and enjoy the community event.

Carmen Avalos brings extensive experience as a PEI Clinician with Telecare's LAOA program, having served in this role for over seven years. The presentation marked an important milestone for Anahi Munoz, who delivered her first presentation as a PEI Clinician. Anahi previously served as an FSP intern before being hired as a PEI clinician in January.

PEI Clinicians are trained in evidence-based practices (EBP) and provide weekly therapy sessions. They play a vital role in community outreach by conducting mental health presentations and participating in community resource fairs. Looking ahead, the clinicians will launch a weekly group at the Senior Center this month, further extending their support to older adults in the community.

This presentation illustrates Telecare's devotion to bringing mental health resources directly to community settings and addressing the unique needs of older adults.
