Today is Meet the Team Monday! 👋

Meet Connor Aleshire, a dedicated Care Coordinator who has been with Westbrook for over 3 months and is already making a meaningful impact!

Connor’s favorite part of his role is the difference he’s able to make in each client’s life every day.

⚾ Connor once played in a youth baseball World Series in North Dakota — what a cool fact to introduce yourself with!

🥾 Outside of work, he enjoys hiking and spending time outdoors.

💬 His motto: “Everything happens for a reason!”

We’re grateful to have Connor’s positive outlook and passion for helping others as part of the Westbrook team!

✅ It's a fact! (Or 4...😁)

Substance misuse is a relevant issue amongst the communities that Westbrook Health Services is providing support for daily. It's important to emphasize that the prevention of substance use and addiction, especially in adolescents, is critical to our mission of empowering people to achieve their greatest potential.

Let's work together to watch out for our young people and to provide care to those who are struggling with substance use/addiction.

Let's talk ma*****na.

After alcohol, ma*****na has the highest rate of dependence or misuse among all drugs. While it’s often viewed as low-risk, ma*****na use can still lead to challenges that impact mental health, motivation, and daily functioning — especially for youth and young adults.

By having honest conversations and providing accurate information, we can help individuals make informed, healthy choices.

If you or someone you know needs support, Westbrook Health Services is here to help!

🚨 Now Open: Westbrook C.A.R.E. Center 🚨

Starting Monday, January 5, Westbrook Health Services is opening the C.A.R.E. Center (Crisis Access, Recovery, Engagement)—a new walk-in support space for adults experiencing a behavioral health crisis at our 2121 7th St. facility in Parkersburg.

✨ What is the C.A.R.E. Center?

A calm, welcoming, non-medical environment inspired by the crisis living room model—designed to help people de-escalate, feel supported, and get connected to the right level of care.

🕗 Hours:

Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

➡️ Hours may expand in the future as community need is assessed.

📍 Who can visit:

• Adults 18+
• Able to contract for safety
• Ambulatory and independent in daily activities
• Safe in a non-medical setting

💬 Services include:

• Crisis assessment & intervention
• Peer Recovery Support
• Referrals and warm hand-offs to additional services

👥 Do you have to be a Westbrook client?

No. Anyone can walk in to request support, learn about services, or receive a crisis assessment.

🤝 Why it matters:

The C.A.R.E. Center increases access to behavioral health services and helps divert low-acuity emergency department and law enforcement calls to a more appropriate, supportive setting.

📣 Help us spread the word!

If you, someone you love, or someone you serve could benefit from a calm place to get support—the C.A.R.E. Center is here.

💙 Community focused. People driven.

Thank you to Parkersburg Area Community Foundation for helping fund the launch of this vital program!

Today is Meet the Team Monday! 👋

Meet Lora Butcher, our incredible Crisis Specialist, who has been part of the Westbrook family for 3 years (and yes, she can’t believe it’s been that long either! 😄).

What Lora loves most about her work is being a beacon of hope in someone’s darkest moments — helping people rediscover their strength, stability, and sense of purpose while reminding them they are never alone.

🌞 Lora proudly considers herself a “professional mood elevator”! Conversations with her come with a guaranteed smile, laugh, or moment of light, even on the hardest days.

🎨 Outside of work, she loves arrowhead hunting in creeks and anything art-related.

💬 Her mantra: “Be your own sunshine — even when the clouds won’t move.”

We’re so grateful for Lora’s heart, humor, and unwavering light. She truly makes a difference every single day! 😇
