Today our spotlight shines on Concetta - our Operations Manager at CBHC. Concetta is an LCSW and has been a social worker for 30 years. She is a qualified supervisor for interns and she enjoys mentoring and supporting the growth of others. In her current role, she values working at the intersection of clinical practice, operational efficiency, and staff development; helping to strengthen both direct services and the systems that support them.
A favorite quote of hers from St. Catherine of Sienna - “Nothing great is ever achieved without much enduring” reflects Concetta’s belief that change is the pull of hope and the push of discomfort, its hard and it takes time. And its almost always worth it. She believes that people have tremendous capacity for growth and greatness. She feels privileged to be both a confidant and a witness to the successful efforts of clients and other professionals. We appreciate Concetta’s commitment to supporting staff and clients, her attention to detail and data, and her ability to connect the dots to get the big picture. Way to go Concetta- you make a difference.!

Today's spotlight is on Renell - the Program Coordinator for our Substance Use Disorder team. Renell is an LCSW and she describes her work as compassionate, caring, understanding, supportive and patient. Renell says she enjoys her career because it allows her to connect with others and help them move forward in their lives to become a better version of themselves. She likes being able to open doors for people to see the good in themselves and to let them know that others do care. Renell is inspired by seeing the positive changes in people and helping them see that they that are the ones who did the work to make the changes happen. She believes we are better together and likes the quote "Life doesn't get easier or more forgiving; we get stronger and more resilient." ~Steve Maraboli. We appreciate Renells consistency, her calmness and her belief in the individuals she works with. Way to go Renell - you make a difference.

Our spotlights for National Social Work month continue. Katherine is the Clinical Manager of Adult Community Services at CBHC. She is a licensed psychologist in Puerto Rico and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. In her role, Katherine oversees ACS programs that support individuals in their emotional well-being, personal growth, and community integration. These include ACAP, Psychosocial Rehabilitation, ACS Outpatient, Vocational Services, and the Drop-In Center. Katherine shares that her work allows her to see the potential in each client, and in the professionals who dedicate their lives to helping others. Katherine believes that “the challenges we face today can become the platform that helps us rise and succeed in life.” Her words come from personal experience. At one point in her own career, she faced challenges that helped shape the mental health professional she is today. Language barriers did not stop her passion for helping others. Instead, she used her fears and challenges as motivation, demonstrating through her example that life may bring difficult moments, but with the right support and a helping hand, we see that everything can work together for good. We appreciate Katherine’s commitment to the community, her thoughtful decision making and her dry sense of humor. Way to go Katherine – you make a difference.

You probably know its Friday the 13th but did you also know its National Good Samaritan Day? Remember that small acts of kindness and random assistance to friends or strangers matters.
Checking in on someone, offering support, or simply listening can make a difference in someone's day. Try it today and any day!
