Mission Statement
Pillars mission is to promote true, high quality continuity of care for the emotional, mental, physical and psychological well-being of individuals, families and communities through a multi-disciplinary array of comprehensive social services with a mental health component.
Description
Pillars is a not for profit social service organization formed through the recent merger between Community Care Options (1928) and Pillars Community Services (1968). Pillars keeps our communities healthy and strong by providing quality, community-based social and mental health services to over 10,000 individuals and families annually who are facing challenges and crisis. Through our commitment to "making connections...changing lives," we offer distinctive and innovative programs to meet the comprehensive needs of the 38 diverse communities we serve such as, just to name a few:
Addictions Services offer individually-tailored treatment and therapy for adults and adolescents, helping 1,000 people each year overcome drug and alcohol additions and rebuild their lives. Preventing substance abuse and addiction is also a high priority. Classes for parents and youth teach relationship skills, foster academic success, and seek to prevent alcohol and drug use. A high school program in Summit links adult mentors with teens for tutoring and social guidance.Adult Mental Health Services provide individual counseling and group therapy for adults.
Adult Wrap focuses on keeping seniors in their communities and preventing premature institutionalization, as well as helping families meet the challenges of caring for older adults through caregiver services.
