Wheeler Health has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Behavioral Health Accreditation in numerous programs by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards.

Wheeler’s commitment to person-centered, trauma-informed care is on full display in two vital programs for women navigating substance use recovery: REACH (Recovery, Engagement, Access, Coaching, and Healing) and PROUD (Parents Recovering from Opioid Use Disorder). While distinct in structure and scope, both programs offer voluntary, compassionate support tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

The road to substance use recovery can be challenging, especially for parents. But according to Susan Schneider, LCSW, director, Wheeler Community-Based Family Services, SAFE-Family Recovery (SAFE-FR) provides a place where individuals have a voice in their path to recovery.

Citing the sometimes-difficult financial balance for parents in frontline health care and teaching careers, for the second year in a row and with a larger gift, an anonymous donor is again supporting childcare and summer camp costs for Wheeler Health employees.

Intensive Family Preservation supports families involved with DCF due to concerns of abuse and neglect. The program is designed to maintain children safely in the home by helping parents develop skills to manage their lives, improve their parenting and connect to needed community resources.
