\n
It has been an exciting and busy time at the Center this spring. We continue to grow, and we are finalizing our five-year strategic plan.<\/p>\n
In this spring issue, you will read about a number of our accomplishments, including our recent affiliation agreement with Meridian Behavioral Health Services in Sylva. The UNC ACT Team that serves Orange and Chatham counties is starting a pilot Step Down program that will transition some of our ACT patients to a lower intensity program. Our CTI program has received state funding to continue its services and to serve more individuals who are at risk for homelessness.<\/p>\n
We welcome Erica Arrington, MD, who joined us in March as director of the STEP Clinic at Carr Mill.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re making plans for our second annual No Limits fundraising event; well-known author and mental health advocate Pete Earley will be the featured speaker. Mark your calendar for November 12.<\/p>\n
Thank you for all of your continued support.<\/p>\n
