People USA was proud to celebrate the official ribbon cutting of the new Ulster County Crisis Support Center, a significant step forward in expanding access to compassionate, community-based behavioral health support in Ulster County. 👏🥳 Located on the first floor of the Ulster County Center for Well-Being at 368 Broadway in Kingston, the Center serves as a multi-service hub for all ages, bringing together behavioral health services, crisis response, a children and family mental health clinic, and victim support services under one roof. We are deeply grateful to the Ulster County Department of Mental Health, the New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH), and the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) for their partnership and support. A special thank you to OMH Commissioner Dr. Ann Marie Sullivan and OASAS Regional Director Kim Benshoff for joining us for this meaningful celebration. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the many partners, leaders, advocates, and community members who joined us to mark this important milestone and recognize the vital role the Center will play in supporting individuals and families in times of crisis.🤝 #UlsterCountyCrisisSupportCenter #UlsterCountyCenterForWellbeing #UlsterCounty #WeAreHereForYou #SafeSpace CrisisStabilizationCenter CrisisResponse CrisisSupport PeopleUSA PeopleUSANow Nonprofit MentalHealth Advocacy Peers WellnessServices Community Support Recovery Sobriety Prevention Hope RoadToMentalWellness NewYork
