Lisa Demeter did a phenomenal job keeping the Counselors informed of changes, updates, and procedures during the transition period from office to work and back to the office and home. Lisa had just entered her new role when she was slammed with so many details and extra duties, and she handled it so well!
We appreciate you, Lisa and all you did to keep us informed, healthy, and united.

Welcome Scott A. Knapp, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, our Supervisor of AoD Outpatient Services.
Scott was supervising an Intensive Home-Based Treatment (IHBT) team at another agency and was hired specifically to transition the team to a stronger AoD (Chemical Dependency term, "Alcohol and Other Drugs") emphasis, in addition to mental health.
In late May, Kenyon Mau reached out again to Scott to discuss an opening with us. Since that time Scott says, "I can't imagine being happier or feeling more 'at home' and 'fit' with my team, my peer colleagues, and the philosophy of the agency in general."
Due to the pandemic, we've had to pivot many of our offerings. However, our staff has continued to support these children and their families during these difficult times.
Children are our future and this #GivingTuesday, we are raising $2,000 for ECS. We could really use your help to meet this goal and help those in need. http://bit.ly/CHGivingTuesday-2020
