Chartiers Center has been very obliging in my life. I suffer from a medical disorder called lupus anticoagulant. This is a disorder where my body makes blood clots. My disorder caused me to have open heart surgery, which caused a stroke. This in turned caused me to become homeless. Being homeless caused depression which lead to substance abuse. Since I joined Chartiers' housing program, I have a place now to call home, which is a big stress relief, and I have been able to focus on my health and sobriety. I hope and pray that Chartiers can continue providing and expand their services in the future.

I have nothing but good things to say about this organization and my case worker. He has helped me when I was at my lowest, helped pull me through the hard times, and I am so much better now that he has helped. Thank you, Josh, for being ana amazing and compassionate person! If I could give 10 stars I would, solely because of how amazing he has been the past few years for my mental health.

I have worked in Homeless Services for a few years in different capacities. Coming to Chartiers Center as a Housing Coordinator has allowed me to utilize my experience to benefit those in need. What I enjoy most about working for Chartiers Center is that we care about the safety and well being of the population we serve. It brings me joy to house an individual experiencing homelessness. Thanks to Chartiers I am able to help those in need.

Chartiers Center has been a leader in the mental health and IDD community for many years. As a mental health housing agency we have worked closely with their staff and management team. The Chartiers staff understands the challenges that individuals face every day. They are a trusted resource and source of support for their consumers and the community. The Chartiers management team is currently working with us on a new program implementation and has been extremely helpful.

As a newcomer to the social work field, this is only my second position in the industry. While I prefer not to speak ill of my previous employer, I must admit that I often felt unappreciated and taken advantage of in my former role, which led me to question my career change. However, after just five months as a newly Certified CRS at Chartiers Center, I can honestly say that I no longer regret my decision. I have been treated with nothing but kindness and respect, and I feel comfortable discussing any client-related issues with my team. Additionally, my supervisor and director, Felicia, has been incredibly supportive and encouraging. I firmly believe that, as a team, we are making significant contributions to our clients lives and to the community at large and that we will continue to do so.

Chartiers Center has had a long history and tradition of helping the most vulnerable of people. From day 1 my experience has been great! Every day presents a new challenge, but the reward is fruitful. There is a desire to help people recover and accomplish the mission we have in front of us. There is a large amount of support and a shared belief that the fight never stops but we celebrate the small victories. I look forward to more wonderful work in the future.

Our group of ladies have been volunteering at Chartiers Center for several years now and each time that we visit I am so impressed by the staff. From the nurse to the food manager their interest in the residents is evident by the way they interact with them. Each week we spend an hour with the residents playing games and the staff often join in and add to the fun.

I am a volunteer with the Ladies of Charity and we visit the residents at Chartiers Center. We usually go once a week to play bingo, games or other activities. Our organization decided to honor each resident on their birthday, with small gifts tailored for each individual. These small acts of kindness are so well received. They like to let us know whose special day is next. The recipient usually makes a special effort to let us know how much we are appreciated. I truly enjoy working and interacting with these special people.

Many of the places I have worked have been big corporations and it is easy to become just a number. With Chartiers being a small organization, it took no time at all to get to know everyone, including the clients. Sure, nowhere is perfect, but the therapists at Chartiers really do care about the clients they work for and the doctor and nurse practitioner really do enjoy their work and are very engaged with all of the staff and are so approachable. It really is like one big family here. I think this is what makes the treatment team so effective for the clients. I am happy I came to work here and am excited to see the directions in which the programs are headed.

No mental health organization is perfect. However, belonging to a small organization such as Chartiers Center has it's benefits. I've never been part of a company before where I felt comfortable walking into the CEO's or the CCO's office to say hi or give them an idea that I had. I can do that at Chartiers Center. I never feel uncomfortable going to the upper management team at Chartiers. I get listened to and respected. I may not always get what I want, but at least I'm heard. That's more than a lot of companies can say.

I applied for many jobs, but when Chartiers Center called me back, I didn't realize the experience I was about to gain. The services that they provide for the community is outstanding. You can tell there is love behind everything that they do. Working for them is more than a paycheck. You get satisfaction knowing you are working for a company that puts the needs of their clients first. Improving the lives of clients, while promoting independence in a healthy and safe environment is the Chartiers Center. I love being a part of an organization that encourages autonomy while dedicating time and effort to serve the community.

I have been dealing with the great staff of Chartiers Center for about 19 months and I am always amazed to find out another service they offer to the community that I wasn't aware of the month before. The Mobile Psych Rehab program is relatively new, but they are growing at a rapid pace and are helping so many in the community to develop their independence, and to thrive during these challenging times, not just survive. My dealings with the MPR team and the Blended Service Coordination team is a very collaborative effort. We help each other so that our clients can succeed. My dealings with their Clinic Staff has been so wonderful as well. When I have questions I can always get answers for the Outpatient Services clients. The same goes for the CRR, RTP, and LTSR. The staff is always able to communicate with me and get me answers regarding any medication the clients may need so that there are no delays when my pharmacist needs an answer about medication changes, increases in doses, decreases in doses, or prior authorizations required by the client's insurance provider. Being the liaison between the Chartiers Center Clinic staff and my pharmacist at Genoa Healthcare Pharmacy, is a symbiotic relationship that continues to ensure better health outcomes for clients. We will continue to learn about each other, communicate numerous times each day, and watch great things continue to happen. I am truly looking forward to seeing other achievements this nonprofit will complete by the end of this year. Things can only get better. Give them a call. Sincerely, Marcia Phillips Consumer Medication Coordinator for Genoa Healthcare Pharmacy, located inside Chartiers MH/MR Center, Inc.
