Westshore Is Officially Open!

We’re so excited to share that our Westshore location is officially up and running at 2780 Veterans Memorial Parkway.

While we’re still in the early stages of opening, we are currently welcoming clients for case management, Peer Support, Men’s Group and a Walking Group (seasonal). Over the coming months, our focus will be on thoughtfully expanding our offerings with additional programs and services.

We’re truly grateful for the opportunity to grow into this space and to begin supporting individuals in this community. This is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to continue building something meaningful here.

Stay tuned—there’s so much more to come.
