Staffing Updates

We have some exciting new additions to our Outpatient BH team! Emily Wills-Thames, who is currently serving as a BH Counselor at CAB, will be transitioning into the role of the newest BH Therapist. We are thrilled to have Emily onboard in this new capacity and are confident that she will excel in her new position.

In addition, I would like to welcome Celina Ruiz as the 6th BH Assessment Specialist. Celina brings a wealth of experience and expertise to our team, and we are excited to have her join us.

National Social Work Month is a time to honor and celebrate the essential work of social workers. Social workers dedicate their lives to serving others and improving the well-being of individuals, families, and communities they work in by providing a range of services, from counseling and therapy to advocacy and community outreach.

During National Social Work Month, we recognize the important role that social workers play in our society. Their work often goes unnoticed or undervalued, but it is crucial to the health and wellbeing of our communities. Social workers help people navigate challenging situations, such as poverty, homelessness, mental illness, and addiction. They provide a listening ear, a supportive shoulder, and practical assistance to those in need.

National Social Work Month is also an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges facing social workers. Social workers often work in high-stress environments. Despite these challenges, they remain committed to their work and continue to make a difference in the lives of those they serve.

This is a time to honor and celebrate the dedicated and compassionate social workers who work tirelessly to improve the lives of others. Their work is essential to our society, and we are grateful for their contributions. Let us continue to support and advocate for social workers, so that they can continue to make a positive impact in our communities. Thank you for the work you do!

Furthermore, I am pleased to announce that Christi Weaver has joined us as our new Team Lead. Christi began her work with us on March 6th, 2023, and has already made significant contributions to our organization.

And after 30 years of service to our organization, Cindy Turner will be retiring as of April 6th, 2023. We are grateful for Cindy's many contributions and dedication to our organization, and we wish her all the best in her retirement.

Please join me in welcoming Celina and Christi to our team and congratulating Emily on her new role Let us also take this opportunity to thank Cindy for her many years of service and wish her the best in her future endeavors
