After nearly 60 years of service, Mental Health Associates of the Triad has closed, leaving behind a powerful legacy of care and advocacy in our community. We are deeply grateful for the many years of collaboration and impact they’ve had—both for those they served and for the partners who worked alongside them. They will be greatly missed.

We’re also honored to welcome several incredible members of the Mental Health Associates team to the Caring Services family. Their dedication, experience, and heart for the community strengthen the work we do every day as we continue supporting individuals on their recovery journeys.

This moment is about carrying forward what matters most: continuity, compassion, and commitment to our community.

Today we want to take time to celebrate Kenny, a steadfast member of Caring Services and the surrounding community. During a sit-down conversation with Kenny, he shared how CSI has helped teach him to think and live again, given him tools to stay focused and positive and keep a good mindset, to recognize maladaptive behavior, or as he put it, “learn to see the negative before it arrives.”

From the beginning, Kenny has been proactive with service work for CSI’s community, from advocating for awareness with CIT training to stepping into leadership roles -- a trait that later earned him the offer of a house monitor at one of CSI’s recovery homes -- Kenny has demonstrated the importance of building new relationships. Kenny spoke proudly of his role as a house monitor, mentioning how his role has taught him how to work through problems and maintain community. Kenny wants to showcase a precedent for success; he does so by helping where needed and working to set good examples. Kenny said his favorite moment of developing a great starting ground as a house monitor with new arrivals is to sit with them during their first few days and build healthy communication.

As a reminder and in celebration of his recovery journey, Kenny has framed all three certificates he has earned while at CSI. In his own words, "I love the new life sobriety has provided me, and how I can work through life with confidence.”

While talking about his family, Kenny shared a heartfelt story about spending time with his cousin at Sheetz. A regular day! Kenny said his cousin just bust out into tears and hugged him, saying he was so proud and happy to watch Kenny get sober and stay sober. Reuniting with his family, Kenny also shared how they never gave up on him.

Kenny’s journey with his family demonstrates an important part of recovery, though it always begins with oneself; recovery can and will extend its grace to others; to family, to friends, and to the people one may encounter along the way.

Nowadays, Kenny is exploring love with a partner, making the transition to permanent housing, studying for his license and hoping for a car in his future.

Fun Fact: Kenny is a local chess master!

Another day of Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) with CSI's Clinical Supervisor, Marlena, and HPPD Recruiter, Andrew Ridge! These trainings are crucial for teaching first responders how to appropriately and effectively help people experiencing a crisis related to mental health and substance use obstacles.

We want to thank the High Point Police Department, EMS, and other local departments for taking the time to learn with us.

Pictured is Marlena and Andrew, and two client speakers who took the time to share their stories and experiences.

Brian Brown, magnificent host and pioneer within the Caring Services community, recently celebrated 30 years in recovery!

Brian has been with CSI for over 20 years, and been a face recognizable from the inception of CSI’s early days. During his time he has been a persistent advocate for people in recovery, a friend, a peer, a teacher, and a kind soul to those he has helped and those he continues to help.

There are many words to describe Brian: loyal, truthful, caring, impactful, fashionista, etc! But for the community he is a hand in the dark, and a light for those needing to know what direction recovery is. We are so grateful to know Brian, to work with him and witness him work with those in recovery.

Brian’s presence is a legacy that will carry forward for many years to come. Please join us in celebrating Brian’s recovery and his legacy.

Succes Story: Matt Spegal

Army Veteran, Matt, joined the Caring Services community in 2025 as part of our Veteran Safety Net Program. During his time with us, Matt has persevered in his recovery journey, working alongside our Veteran’s Case Manager and his fellow Vets to achieve his goals and bring him one more step closer to long-term recovery:

“My experience at CSI was positive, upbeat, and necessary. The intensive outpatient program helped me to recover and maintain my sobriety/clean approach in life. I thank all the counselors at CSI.”

Join us in congratulating Matt on his successful completion of CSI services! And in wishing early congratulations as his 1-year sobriety date approaches on April 23, 2026!


Fun Fact: Matt is especially talented with befriending CSI’s resident feline, Midnight. Often feeding, cuddling, and playing with our furry friend.
