<p>M:STL- Walter's Walk Engagement & Data Management VISTA</p> <p>Walter's Walk is committed to providing awareness in the community for counseling services to all who are in need regardless of their ability to pay. Walter's Walk provides counseling services to Veterans, First Responders and their families. In 2010, Dr. Jean Moretto, founder and Executive Director, recognized the need for counseling services due to an alarming number of individuals and families seeing counseling for a wide range of issues, including trauma, depression, and grief. The goal in improving the well-being of those in the community became even more urgent when Dr. Moretto realized the rise in barriers associated with accessing mental health treatment, including unemployment and lack of health care coverage. Since inception, Walter's Walk has provided services to over 4500 clients and provided more than 31,650 hours of service to them.
