President's Corner

Hello CCCHS Members!

 

Happy summer! Thank you to everyone who attended last month’s CCCHS picnic. It’s always nice to connect and re-connect with colleagues. The Networking Bingo was also a fun addition to the day.

 

As a friendly reminder, we will keep with tradition and NOT have a membership meeting in the months of July and August, but we’ll be back in September with a full line-up. Karen will continue with the newsletter over the summer, so please email fliers and updates to ccchs2@gmail.com by the 15th of the month.

 

We hope you were able to pick-up a copy of our Centre County Human Services Guide in The Gazette last week. If not, view our digital copy available here. 

 

Don’t forget to register for our fall training on Healthy Boundaries. This is open to all staff of CCCHS member agencies.
