St. Clair County Community Mental health recognized that many people in the community need a way to connect with others. In response to that need, they have started the Pen Pals for a Purpose Program to help people connect through the mail.
Volunteers in the pen pal program must sign a consent form, submit to a background check, and agree with the rules of the program. All letters written will be reviewed by staff at St. Clair County Community Mental Health to ensure the integrity of the program.
Pen Pals will write on a variety of topics including, love, gratitude, and admiration. Volunteer writers will receive guides that help them write about the topic and give them ideas for their letters. There are also activity sheets that can be printed and shared.
