Celebrating 48 Years of Help, Healing, and Hope 💛

This year marks 48 years since our founder had a simple yet powerful idea: to offer accessible mental health and addiction recovery services for those in need.

Founded in 1977 as a transition house by Vince DiPasquale, we’ve grown into a trusted place of connection and support for individuals and families navigating life’s most difficult challenges. From counseling referrals to community programs, we continue to serve with compassion, purpose, and a belief that no one should have to struggle alone.

To everyone who has been part of our journey - clients, counselors, volunteers, staff, board members, and community partners, thank you for making this mission possible. 🫶

Please join us on November 8th to celebrate and be part of this meaningful milestone.

Anniversary Kick-off & Vince's Anniversary Lecture | 9:30AM to 11AM
Open House | 1pm to 3PM

Here’s to 48 years of impact and many, many more to come.
