"Our staffing is in place. We hired a peer support specialist, Erin Buck, 2/6/19 who is actively seeing clients in the Crested Butte community. She has become certified to lead a recovery group that is non-spiritual which provides the only alternative to AA/NA meetings in Crested Butte. It is called SMART recovery (www.smartrecovery.org ). Groups are being held at the Chamber of Commerce conference room on Thursday at noon until further notice for anyone 18 and up.

The clinician, Sarah Kramer LCSW LAC, and psychiatric nurse practitioner, Laura Rogers are building Crested Butte client caseload now out of the Gunnison office. They are ready to work in the clinic upon renovation completion. As we near opening we will have a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of which we will communicate the details to all our donors.

Center for Mental Health staff and stakeholders would like to express our sincerest gratitude for your personal commitment to seeing this dream become a reality. We could not have accomplished opening this clinic without each of you.
