Client Profiles

CIP clients come to the agency from throughout Marin County, including underserved communities such as West Marin, East San Rafael, Marin City, and Novato. Similarly, they represent diverse ethnic populations, including Asian Americans, African Americans, and Native Americans, as well as Latino and White.

We would like to share with you brief portraits of some of the people receiving assistance at CIP and the problems with which they are coping (the names and circumstances have been altered to protect confidentiality). All are being helped to overcome crisis, to heal from trauma, and to resume their lives in healthier, more productive ways. The welfare of each one of these individuals affects family, friends, and coworkers-in fact, our entire community.
