CHESTERTOWN — For All Seasons’ office in Chestertown has moved to 315 High St., Suite 202.
The agency is hosting an open house on Thursday, March 20 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. for the public to meet the office staff and learn more about its expanded services. Tours of the new space and refreshments will be offered.
According to a news release, For All Seasons will be able to increase its capacity with a larger office in downtown Chestertown.
Also, beginning March 24, the agency will be able to offer its Open Access™ program — a walk-in mental health service with same-day access to appointments — on Mondays from 2 to 3 p.m.
“This exciting initiative ties into our new ‘Mental Health on Main Street’ initiative where we bring our services to main streets across the Mid-Shore, making our services walkable for people living in our towns and cities,” Beth Anne Dorman, president and CEO of For All Seasons, said in the news release.
Dorman said For All Seasons already has implemented the Mental Health on Main Street initiative with its offices in Denton and Easton and hopes to offer a new office location soon in Cambridge.
“Delivering mental health services to rural areas can be challenging with transportation barriers. We are particularly appreciative of our funding from the Rural Maryland Prosperity Improvement Fund (RMPIF) from the Rural Maryland Council which is enabling us to expand our offices in Kent and Dorchester counties to create larger service hubs that bring mental health and victim support services to remote, outlying areas that are mental healthcare deserts,” Dorman said in the news release.
According to the news release, American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money administered by the Town of Chestertown has funded For All Seasons’ ability to move and expand its Kent County office to bring in-person Open Access™ to the community.
Also, the Consortium on Coordinated Community Supports from the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission has funded For All Seasons’ ability to expand its school-based and community-based care, early intervention and prevention strategies for Kent County youth.
