Here’s a brief message from Allison Casinghino, Wheeler’s senior foster care recruiter, about how individuals and families can help a child or youth through foster care.

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.
