🌟 Partnership Spotlights 🌟

Thank You to Ohio CIT

First responders often encounter individuals in crisis but may feel unprepared to respond effectively. They want to be equipped with the skills to de-escalate safely and connect people to needed resources. Through the support of Ohio CIT, our local Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program receives guidance to maintain fidelity, apply for funding, and strengthen awareness. Thanks to this partnership, our local responders have the tools and confidence to serve our communities with compassion and skill.

Thank You to Portsmouth City Schools

Students face stress, emotional challenges, and barriers that can affect their well-being and learning. They hope to feel supported, understood, and empowered to succeed both in and out of the classroom. Portsmouth City Schools has partnered with us by welcoming our team into the school day to meet with students directly. This partnership ensures students know they are not alone and that caring adults are here to walk alongside them in their journey.
