My Story…
I am thrilled to be running in the Falmouth Road Race for OCES. This is my 3 year running for the OCES Team and my 7th Falmouth Road Race! I have worked for OCES for 18 years now and am honored to be the CEO. The Staff at OCES continue to amaze me with their passion and dedication to serving older adults and individuals with disabilities. It is because of our skilled and adaptive staff that OCES can offer dynamic programming to greater Plymouth County.
This year marks OCES’ 50th Anniversary and I am running to raise money for OCES’ Behavioral Health Department. Our licensed staff provide FREE in-home counseling services to older adults who cannot access traditional counseling services. Did you know that 1 in 4 older adults in the U.S have behavioral health concerns such as social isolation, depression, substance abuse, and dementia (MA Aging and Mental Health Coalition)? Furthermore, 27 million adults which is more than half of adults with Mental Health illness do not receive treatment. Please help OCES expand our programming so we can support more individuals in accessing the help they need!
Please consider making a donation via my Fundraising Page. Every dollar donated goes directly to an individual residing in Greater Plymouth County (Abington, Avon, Bridgewater, Brockton, Carver, Duxbury, East Bridgewater, Easton, Halifax, Hanover, Hanson, Kingston, Lakeville, Marshfield, Middleboro, Pembroke, Plymouth, Plympton, Rockland, Stoughton, Wareham, West Bridgewater, Whitman). Thank you! Nicole
