Connecting to Greatness, a small Leominster business providing mental health counseling, has received a $25,000 loan for an expansion into telehealth.
The North Central Massachusetts Development Corp. approved the small business loan to pay for equipment needed for virtual counseling services and support the hiring of two full-time clinicians, according to Tuesday press release from NCMDC.
Since its creation in 2018 by Kimatra Maxwell, Connecting to Greatness has aimed to improve mental health training and education.
“The need for mental health services is significant and with this support from the North Central Massachusetts Development Corp., we will be able to make an impact in the lives of those who desperately need help,” Maxwell said in the press release.
NCMDC is the lending division of the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce and can provide loans up to $250,000 for small businesses.
