At �黨ɫ��Ƭ, we believe that a person's environment plays a significant role in his or her recovery journey. Of course, there are many factors that contribute to a person's overall environment, including physical, social, and natural. When a person is going through a crisis, it is essential that the program environment they walk into is one based on healing so the recovery can begin the second they walk through the doors.

This summer, �黨ɫ��Ƭ partnered with  to open three new crisis programs to meet the needs of their community and use the physical environment, RCCS-practices, and personal compassion to transform the crisis experience into a healing opportunity.

"This project highlights the vision and elements of public safety," said Third District Supervisor at the July 19 open house for . "No longer will those community members have to suffer in silence. No longer will they have to travel to an emergency room. They can receive services right here in their own community, where they can knock on the door, walk in, and get the services they need because we came together as a community, as a county, and a state to make sure that they know that they are not alone in their journey to move forward—that we are standing side by side with them to see that change come forward in our community because no one should struggle or be alone with it comes to health and wellness."
