Shuster said the center’s physical space is being organically designed using wood tones and greenery to assist in grounding its members.

In the meantime, Shuster said the center is developing its fall portfolio and curriculum to provide programs upon opening.

Shuster said that she and the JCC expect to bring this to the community soon.

“I’m looking forward to being able to lift up the community with additional tools, skills and resources for preventative mental health in all the work that we do and in all the ways that we see that the community is touched and afected by this mental health pandemic that we’re in right now,” Shuster said.
