Caminar for Mental Health Opens Its New Home in San Mateo

Caminar for Mental Health, a nonprofit organization that helps individuals with serious mental illness live independently, invites the community to an open house of its newly consolidated offices in San Mateo.
 
Nov. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- The much anticipated move brings together all of Caminar's services and offices, previously scattered throughout the County, under one roof.

Caminar's new office houses the Medication Clinic; Bridges to Wellness (a program that brings medical and behavioral health together in a holistic approach to wellness); REACH (Recovery, Empowerment and Community Housing), a 24/7 case management program; FSP (Full Service Partnership), intensive case management for older, medically fragile adults); and New Ventures/WRAPP (Wellness Recovery Action Partnership Program), case management support for individuals who are successfully living in the community. Other Caminar San Mateo programs, including Job Plus, the job training, placement, and support program, and Supported Housing are also headquartered in the new facility, along with central administrative offices.

Centrally located and easily accessible to public transportation, the new location benefits both clients and staff alike. San Mateo Region Executive Director Lori Kandels says, "Now all of our adult case management programs are under the same roof with the medication clinic. This improves communication and leads to better coordination of care for our clients."

Longtime member of Caminar's Board of Directors, Eunice Kushman, a mental health activist and one of the most influential citizens in the history of mental health services in San Mateo County, will cut the ribbon in the opening ceremony. Representatives from the County, foundations, corporations, and friends and supporters of Caminar will also be in attendance.


Event details:  Thursday, November 15; 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.; 2600 El Camino Real, San Mateo
