Contact Community Services is a multi-faceted organization that supports the social, emotional, behavioral and mental health of children, youth and adults. We deliver this support through three broad program areas: Crisis Intervention Services, School Support Services and Training & Education. We provide a free, confidential 24-hour/7-day a week counseling, suicide/crisis hotline and referral service for individuals looking for information on health and human services agencies. We answer calls on our local Contact Hotline, 211CNY calls and serve as a crisis call center for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline throughout the Central New York region, as well as Westchester, Albany, Greene and Columbia counties. We also support academic achievement by addressing barriers to learning. We provide youth development programs; behavioral intervention programs; social and emotional learning programs; school-based mental health and substance abuse counseling; and school-wide substance abuse awareness programs. We are currently located in five school districts throughout Central New York providing these support services to administrators, teachers and students. Additionally, Contact provides suicide prevention and mental health training to community organizations, business and school districts all free of charge throughout CNY. Our classes teach individuals how to recognize suicide warning signs, assess risk, respond in a supportive manner, intervene, connect a person with a trained professional or community resource, and develop a safety plan.

🌟 Meet the Keynote Speaker for the CNY Youth Mental Health Summit 🌟 We are thrilled to announce our keynote speaker, Rickey Gregory Jr., MSW, Vice Principal at Brighton Academy, Syracuse City School District. Rickey’s inspiring journey from the James Geddes housing projects to becoming a leader in education showcases the power of resilience and the impact of positive change. Growing up on the West side of Syracuse with a single mother, Rickey faced numerous challenges, including dropping out of school and a cycle of drugs and violence. Despite these hardships, Rickey’s determination led him to earn his GED while at Jamesville Correctional Facility. After his release, Rickey pursued higher education, obtaining degrees from Onondaga Community College and Le Moyne College. He found his calling in helping others facing similar struggles and earned his master's in social work from Syracuse University. As a school social worker, Rickey worked to strengthen cultural competence and community ties, and now as Vice Principal, he continues to champion the youth of Syracuse. Rickey's story is a testament to overcoming adversity and the importance of mental health support. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from him and other experts at the CNY Youth Mental Health Summit. 🗓️ Date: Friday October 25 📍 Location: DoubleTree by Hilton in East Syracuse, NY This event is for professionals who work with youth play a crucial role in shaping their mental well-being and overall development including educators, mental health professionals, healthcare providers, social workers, and youth organization leaders. 👉 Register now: https://lnkd.in/gp9NrjKJ? #CNYYouthMentalHealthSummit #YouthMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #RickeyGregory #Inspiration #CommunitySupport
