Second chances. Real opportunities. Fresh starts.

Maricopa County, in partnership with the City of Phoenix and the Reform Alliance, recently hosted a Second Chance Job Fair for justice-involved individuals at the East Valley Career Center.

More than a dozen employers who believe in second chances showed up ready to hire. Thirty participants landed interviews and two walked away with job offers the very same day.

This is what workforce development looks like in action because everyone deserves the opportunity to move forward.

107° today and the heat is no joke. Right now, there are 250+ Heat Relief Network sites ready to help with water, indoor cooling, and support when it's needed most.

For some in our community, access to water and a cool place can mean everything. Blanca knows this reality firsthand. After more than a decade on the streets, she says these resources helped her survive Arizona summers.

Find a location near you at Maricopa.gov/heat or call 211.

Tap. Share. Help someone stay cool. 💧

This state-of-the-art campus is designed with every pup in mind with more than 600 kennels and 18 play yards. It will also feature a "mutt-ternity" ward for when dogs are found with a litter of puppies, a natural walking path along New River, a grooming room, low stimulation housing and play yards for shy and fearful dogs and a photo studio so all adoptable pets can put their best paw forward in their online profiles. 🐕‍🦺

Getting mental health support for a child shouldn’t take months. 

Maricopa County Department of Public Health is partnering with Cartwheel to help recruit schools connect students and families to virtual mental health services, with a goal of reaching 50,000 students in the first year. 

This partnership will help expand access to student mental health support in communities where care can be harder to access. 

Through this program, referred students may have access to therapy, family support, parent coaching, and psychiatric care. Initial appointments are often available within about one week. 

Services are voluntary, insurance is billed when available, and no family will be denied care due to inability to pay.
