In the coming weeks, the facility will begin adding staff handprints alongside the Helping Hands mural, creating a visual representation of our team’s ongoing commitment to care, support and healing.

Receiving this award means a lot. It’s special to know my colleagues trust me and see the work I do with the kids.

Reflecting on her time at Columbus Behavioral Center, Serenity shared, “I just love working here. It feels great to be at CBC while making a positive impact for the kids and staff—everyone.”

Thank you, Merrick, for showing up for our youth and leading with compassion and care. We are thrilled to have you step into this leadership role and grateful for the positive impact you continue to make on our team and our community.

Meet Nick, Lead Mental Health Technician on the 200 Unit!

Nick has been a part of our community for nearly three years and has fostered an atmosphere of empathy, support and connection. When reflecting on his experience, he shared: “I really look forward to being a part of the team. Being a lead tech means being there for the kids and having them see me as a support figure in their lives — and that’s a really cool thing.”

Nick went on to describe how his “why” has grown during his time here: “When I first started, I didn’t know what my ‘why’ was. But over the years, I’ve realized that I want to be that person for someone — the person I didn’t feel like I had at their age. That’s why I stay in this field, even on the tough days. It’s all worth it when the kids go home with the skills they’ve learned.”

Thank you, Nick, for the care, understanding and positivity you bring to our community every day. We’re grateful for everything you do!
