On behalf of the entire PYS team we want to wish Sue all the best as she enters into her retirement. Sue has been a pillar of the agency and provided a solid foundation for many youth and their families over her incredible 30 year career. Many of us know Sue for her incredible work as an intake worker, but she also supported the agency through work with CST, groups, mentoring new staff and was extremely skilled in parent and family work. She will be dearly missed for her wa...rmth, care and passion for the wonderful work she did. We wanted to extend the opportunity to anyone who would like to offer Sue some farewell wishes to email them to us and we will pass them on. [email protected] Here’s to Sue and the wonderful adventures that arise along her next journey!

When it comes to helping our children with school this year, we could all use a few more tools in our back-to-school toolbox! CMHO can help navigate this! Visit https://cmho.org/back-to-school/ for more info #youth #youthRthefuture #support #mentalhealth #navigatingschool #community #PYS #toolkit
