The Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce and the Children’s Resource Center have announced a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Children’s Resource Center’s new crisis center on Nov. 5 at 1045 Klotz Road, Bowling Green. The ceremony will begin at 1 p.m.
The Children’s Resource Center (CRC) invites all community members to attend the ribbon cutting and learn more about more programs being offered. The new R. Anthony Marcson Center will be located behind the current agency building which will allow close collaboration between programs and easy access for past and current clients who may benefit from the services. An additional 10-12 new positions will open at this location, and 18 positions will transfer to the new crisis center.
In partnership with the Wood County Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board, this is a pivotal project in the enhancement of Northwest Ohio’s crisis continuum for youth. The center will provide crisis stabilization care to youth in Wood County and surrounding areas. It will include 16 rooms, 10 traditional beds and 6 intensive care beds for youth who require longer-term stabilization (up to three months). The crisis center will include shared areas, therapy rooms for both group and individual treatment, a full kitchen and dining, and family spaces for visitation.
The opening of the crisis center is particularly significant as CRC also marks 50 years of dedicated services to the youth of Wood County and surrounding families this year.
