Community Support

01.

— A Safe Place

The Roberti Community House has developed a very real sense of community. There are no strangers here. It has become a place where people feel safe, where they are able to talk about problems, share concerns and feel supported.

02.

— Support Services

The needs of those who participate in programs/activities at RCH are varied, and sometimes quite personal. Consequently, we provide individualized support to those with special needs. This may include assistance with education, securing appropriate medical services, or assistance with a variety of housing needs.

03.

— Community Workshops

Roberti Community House offers monthly workshops that focus on a variety of subjects important to the community. Health professionals provide information on topics such as diabetes, asthma, and securing appropriate medical services. A licensed dietician offers workshops designed to encourage good health through the preparation of nutritional foods. Local educational personnel, the police, and various other community organizations also provide workshops on relevant topics.
