Congratulations to Montgomery County, PAfor breaking ground (or smashing walls!) on the new Emergency Behavioral Health Crisis Center in King of Prussia.

This center will provide 24/7 walk-in support, crisis stabilization, and connections to treatment. We’re excited to watch this project unfold!

We're proud to be a member of Bucks-Mont Collaborative and grateful for their work and advocacy - so many incredible Bucks and Montgomery County nonprofits are being impacted, and each week that passes without a resolution to the budget impasse weakens our ability to provide critically needed housing, behavioral health care, food assistance, and countless other supports to our most vulnerable neighbors. Make sure your legislators hear your voice by joining the call for an end to the budget impasse and for legislators to pass the state budget.

Pennsylvania’s nonprofit safety net is nearing a breaking point.

CAN’s new survey reveals the toll of the ongoing state budget impasse:

- Nearly 80% of organizations are already affected—delaying payments, cutting staff, and reducing services.
- Another 11% will face cuts within two months if funds remain frozen.
- 9 in 10 report severe burnout and moral distress among staff.

Each day without a budget compounds the harm for our communities and the people nonprofits serve. We’re calling on state leaders to end the impasse now.

PRO-ACT CRS have the opportunity to support people in recovery within many parts of the care continuum - including Treatment Court. We're grateful to our Chester County partners in that work throughout the year, and for providing this opportunity for our CRS Jerry!

👏 PRO-ACT Chester County is proud of our very own CRS, Jerry Griffith! 👏

Jerry is representing Chester County this week at the Pennsylvania Conference for Treatment Court Professionals, where he’s learning, connecting, and providing valuable input on how to strengthen recovery support within treatment courts.

His dedication to improving recovery outcomes and supporting individuals through every step of their journey truly embodies what PRO-ACT stands for hope, advocacy, and community. 💜

Let’s give Jerry a big round of applause for all his hard work and commitment to recovery excellence! 👏👏

We were able to visit with some of our legislators, hear from speakers including Senator John Kane, Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs Secretary Dr. Latika Davis-Jones, Mike Krafick, Regional Recovery Hub Director for Region 7, among other great speakers, share our Recovery Voices County guides, and amplify the voices of Recovery!
