Grand Opening of Child & Family Services Building
On March 12th, Kitsap Mental Health Services celebrated the opening of a new Bremerton facility to house the Kitsap WISe teams. The new building is located off Hwy 303, at 1651 NE Bentley Dr, which is easily accessible by bus lines 15 and 217. The WISe teams outgrew their old building as the staff has grown to eleven WISe teams, totaling around 38 staff members. Besides the accessible location, the Bentley drive facility has several beneficial features. The space is bright, airy, and welcoming. Every member of the WISe staff as their own office or cubicle, and there are several therapy rooms. The facility is far less cramped than the former site of the WISe teams at Sheridan Road, and staff are grateful for the new space to do the important work of helping families in Kitsap thrive.
Major Change for Monthly Salish FYSPRT Meetings
The Salish FYSPRT leadership team, responding to numerous calls for a set location to their meetings, have decided on the permanent locations of their future meetings. Three meeting sites, one in each county, have been chosen. The meetings will occur simultaneously at all three locations on the last Monday of the month. The three meetings will be able to interact as they will be connected via satellite. The first definite use of the three simultaneous meetings will be for the June 24th meeting. The Salish FYSPRT team will try testing the communications systems out prior to that date to ensure that seamless communication is possible.
The sites chosen all have central locations, nearby parking, transit options, and space for many participants. The Clallam County site will be First Steps Family Support Center, located at 325 E. 6th Street in Port Angeles. The Jefferson County site will be at the Pacific Conference room in the Jefferson County Public Health Building, located at 615 Sheridan St. in Port Townsend. The Kitsap County site will be at Catholic Community Services, located at 2625 Wheaton Way in Bremerton. These three sites have generously been opened up to FYSPRT by their management, all of whom do wonderful work in ensuring the well-being of children in our area.
