Yesterday we had our official ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the Supportive Crisis Stabilization Center.

The Supportive Crisis Stabilization Center (SCSC) provides 24/7, voluntary, short-term care for people in mental health or substance use crises, acting as an alternative to emergency rooms by providing immediate support, de-escalation, coping skills, peer support, and connections to ongoing treatment in a safe, non-clinical setting. They focus on stabilizing individuals without immediate risk of serious harm, helping with emotional regulation, and creating safety plans, all with a strong emphasis on recovery and peer-led support.

Our Employment Prevocational programs teamed up once again with SUNY Polytechnic Institute Psychology professor, Dr. Joseph, and her students for our annual collaborative project. This year, we joined forces to volunteer with Sleep in Heavenly Peace - NY, Utica, an organization dedicated to making sure every child has a bed to sleep in.

Together, the college students and our program participants worked side‑by‑side, drilling, sanding, hammering, and staining each piece of wood. Every station contributed a part of what would become a complete bed for a child in need. By the end of the day, 20 beds were fully built and ready to be donated to local children.

It was a meaningful, hands‑on experience that everyone truly enjoyed.
