The unit will serve youth age 10-17. Genesis will work with local agencies and partners to identify youth who may need additional help during a crisis.“Not every young person in crisis needs to be hospitalized, but they do need help right away,” said Matt Perry, president and CEO at Genesis HealthCare System. “Timely care is critical, and families need support close to home. Working alongside our community partners, this program gives youth a safe place to stay, get the care they need and begin moving forward.”Youth will take part in a two-week program focused on safety, stability and growth including the following:—Individual and group therapy.—Trauma-informed care.—Educational and social activities.—On-site classroom teacher.—Shared spaces for meals, laundry and practicing life skills.—Planning for ongoing support after discharge.In partnership with the Muskingum Area Mental Health and Recovery Services Board, Genesis was awarded American Rescue Plan Act grant funding through the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health to bring this service to the region.For more information visit www.genesishcs.org/ycsu.</div></body>
